The Fellowship Hall Renovation is Under Way!
The Fellowship Hall renovation is a reality! The long awaited updates and renovations are in progress!
Here is what to look forward to:
- A bright, welcoming space for large and small meetings
- New flooring and a new, redesigned ceiling
- Drywall! Paint!
- A new, redesigned and up-to-date audio visual system that will be “state of art”
- A new, accessible exterior door – easy to open, close, lock, and un-lock
- Lighting and newly designed ceiling that will be just spectacular
- Constructed storage area for tables and chairs when not in use
- A refurbished, reopened library and small meeting space
In the meantime, life will be a little inconvenient…
- Please do not enter the Fellowship Hall while work is in progress.
- The Fellowship Hall is a construction zone and requires appropriate safety equipment, especially hard hats and closed-toe shoes (please respect this restriction).
- The Fellowship Hall door off the parking lot is not accessible for entering the church.
- The access and sign-in table are now inside the Narthex at the double glass doors closest to the parking lot.
- Items, including chairs and other furniture, are stored in the Narthex.
If you have questions about this project, please contact Kathy Parrott (homes@vt.edu) or John Hess (jlhess@vt.edu)
