St. Peter’s Catholic Church + School

Kansas City, Missouri

Renovation of aging school and addition of new multipurpose space to accommodate academic, ministerial and fellowship needs of Parish

Activating the underutilized gap between the historic school and church structures on the St. Peter’s Parish campus is a new 2,900 square foot multipurpose space. Distinct in its simple language of structural silicone glazed curtain wall, concrete columns and timber roof structure, the addition is intended to be as transparent as possible and defer to and visually link the existing stone structures, providing gathering space for students, educators and parishioners alike. Circulation and accessibility within the school building were improved by reconfiguring classrooms and adding an exterior stairwell; classrooms were refreshed with new interior finishes; and upgrades made to the building envelope, MEP systems and life safety.
