Mc2 Engineering has a very long relationship with New Beginnings Church spanning 10 years and 3 phases. The original phase was completed, by others, but every phase since has been a collaboration between Mc2 and NBC. The various phases have included a New Multipurpose Building which is also utilized for their larger worship services, maximizing parking on-site, additional parking across the road from the campus to provide a total 590 parking spaces and a Community/Counseling Building to better serve the needs of the congregation and community. As with most Church expansions it is extremely important to look at phasing the project to minimize impact on current services. The church is located in Mint Hill, NC.

Key Aspects of Project

• Several rezoning hearings over the years
• Roadway Improvements
• Stormwater Management
• On-site Package Sanitary Sewer Pump Station

The original phase was completed, by others, but the last phase included a 33,000 sf Sanctuary Addition with Theater seating for 2200 people. The parking lots were reconfigured to maximize parking at 689 spaces and were modified to create better traffic flow before and after services minimizing idling team in the parking lots. The church is located in Charlotte, NC.

The church expansion included building a learning center with administrative offices. The site design included tying the proposed building into the existing campus and adding additional parking while having as little impact as possible for the current church services. Part of the approval process included presenting the plan before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a Variance from the RSOD requirement in the Zoning Code.

The Church campus expansion in Charlotte, NC included a new 950 seat worship center. After further review of the existing parking lot it was determined that there were several inefficiencies and with very minor cost 20 additional parking spaces were added to the existing parking lot along with the newly installed 133 parking spaces for a total of 430 parking spaces. Another difficult item with a large scale project is to phase the construction so that the current facilities could operate while new construction was occurring.
