This presentation will focus on the Diocese of Orange’s purchase of the former headquarters for Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral Ministries. This 34-acre site includes six existing structures, totaling approximately 320,000 square feet of usable area. It will speak to the analysis of the purchase, as it relates to the operation of the Diocese as a pastoral center and the transition of an existing ministry center into the Cathedral site. There will be a graphic presentation on the planning and renovation of three historic Richard Neutrastructures, one Gin Wong structure, one Richard Meier structure, and the renovation plans for the existing Philip Johnson Crystal Cathedral structure into a sanctuary for Catholic worship
CourseDescription
LPALearningObjectives
1. Understand the due diligence analysis of a user group that leads to the decision to purchase the
property, including programming, condition assessment, codes, zoning, regulations, life safety
and accessibility.
2. Comprehend the decision-making process in reusing, adapting and restoring historic,
architecturally significant structures, using a video presentation from the architect-of-record for
the renovation on dealing with the challenges of structures that are 40- and 50-years old and
bringing them into current code compliance.
3. Appreciate and grasp the effort it takes to obtain consensus in a Diocese of 1.2 million Catholics
on a conceptual floor plan and program that will transform the building into a sanctuary for
Catholic worship that retains the integrity of the an architecturally significant structure.
At the end of the this course, participants will be able to:
