The growing congregation at the Church of the Harvest in Olathe, Kan., needed to greatly increase its worship capacity, and it was searching for a durable and attractive building. The combination of an engineered metal building from Butler Manufacturing with Tuff Wall panels from Metl-Span met the criteria that made everyone happy.
Hernly Associates Inc., of Lawrence, Kan., worked as a subcontractor design firm with Strickland Construction Company of Olathe on the Church of the Harvest project. Mike Myers, AIA, project architect with Hernly Associates, says Tuff Wall provided the look and durability the congregation desired and allowed him plenty of design freedom.
