Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Project Scope: Our Lady of Refuge Adoration chapel
Location: Reedsburg, Wisconsin
Designer: Architectural Design Consultants, Inc.
The project planning began in the Fall of 2018 with the selection of Architectural Design Consultants, Inc. of Lake Delton, Wisconsin as the architect for the addition. A number of project goals were identified including how to match the adjacent 50-year-old church, how to incorporate new handicapped-accessible restrooms to meet the needs of the congregation, and how to provide 24-hour access to the new chapel while allowing the main church to close during the evenings.
The building site was tight and the 1,473-square-foot wood-framed chapel was designed to utilize all the space available. The new addition includes the chapel with a 40-person seating capacity, two handicapped-accessible restrooms, and a maintenance area. Despite the challenges associated with a smaller job site, the project moved quickly and was completed in just over four months.
This project was recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Wisconsin as a 2019 Silver Project of Distinction.
