Panels Provide Cost-Effective Solution for Renovation
The leaders of the Soul City Church on Chicago’s west side sought help with plans for expansion to meet the needs of a growing congregation. The project evolved into a 29,000 square foot addition and 20,000 square foot renovation of the existing building, complete with insulated metal panels from Metl-Span.
“The neighborhood has an industrial feel,” says Eric Zachrison, design architect at The Context Shop in Chicago. “There are a lot of old factories in the neighborhood that are being renovated, so we wanted to be contextual in a modern way. Metal was definitely one of the first things we decided on with this project.”
