Canyon Del Oro Baptist Church has been realizing accelerated growth in their congregation. Swaim Associates was commissioned to masterplan their 15 acre site located adjacent to the Coronado National Forest. Program development with the staff and planning studies open to the congregation were used to define the potential for physical growth of the facilities as well as building consensus around the plan through involvement. The phased plan for growing of the buildings was developed in conjunction with the growth aspects anticipated for the church body. The Master Development plan was then refined and carried through Oro Valley development services. The phase one sanctuary expansion and classroom addition were designed to grow from and blend with the existing materials palette. As well as drawing attention to the facility, the textures and sloping roofs guide the eye to the mountains beyond. Future phases include Sunday School Classrooms, Adult Education Facilities, and a new Sanctuary to seat 800.
