The Concordia University Student Life Center renovation involved creating an expansive, open space for many different student activities, including congregating, eating and studying.

St. Jerome’s Parish plans included expansion into a multi-phase school and worship space to provide a larger and more efficient church and school.

St. Jerome Parish School houses a K-8, two-track school with approximately 500 students arrayed to maximize solar gain during late autumn, winter, and early spring.
