A Georgia church bought 40,000 square feet of vacant retail space and 11 acres; it incorporated shipping containers into a 2,100-seat auditorium and youth facilities

Athens Church transformed vacant retail property in Athens, Georgia, into a sprawling church campus with a 2,100-seat auditorium, children's spaces and youth facilities. The project reused existing structures, technology and materials, while shipping containers became high school breakout rooms. Designers created an industrial environment focused on flexibility, function and connection.
