Description |
St. Mark's
Catholic Church, located on Highway 55 just north of Manchester, is a
mission church started by St. Paul the Apostle Church in Tullahoma. This
project was a design/build team effort by Whitehead+Oakley+Dunlap+Bumpas,
LLC, and Duggin Construction of Tullahoma. The project was completed in
April, 2001 and consists of approximately 7,000 sq. ft.
Whitehead+Oakley+Dunlap+Bumpas, LLC,
provided a master plan layout for future development of the property to
assist in placing this building in a location on the 20 acre site that
would allow for future buildings such as a larger sanctuary, educational
facilities, playing fields, etc.
The building consists of a 180-seat
sanctuary that is centered around 3 meeting rooms. Two of the meeting
rooms open directly off the sanctuary and serve as overflow seating areas.
There is a large narthex to serve as a gathering place before and after
mass. There are 2 offices, a sacristy, restroom facilities, and a kitchen
open to the largest of the meeting rooms. The building is constructed of
brick veneer and exterior insulation finish system on metal studs and
pre-engineered steel building frame. |
