Other Projects by Glave & Holmes Architecture
Allen & Jeannette Early Center for Christian Education & Worship
Richmond, VA, United States
The original 1897 Spence Hall at Union Presbyterian Seminary’s Richmond campus was expanded in 1940 and 1970 and housed the campus library until 1997 when it was relocated to the new William Smith Morton Library.
Glavé & Holmes Architecture was commissioned in 2000 to rehabilitate the vacant building into a state-of-the-art facility for teaching and worship.
Although the exterior façade has remained substantially unaltered, the interior spaces are designed in a contemporary style using overlaying of materials, cantilevered floors and moveable walls to create maximum flexibility. The eight stories of the 1970, self-supporting stacks were removed and the created volume is infused with filtered daylight, entering through the existing windows, to create an awe- inspiring 40ft x 40ft x 40ft worship and teaching space.
The use of glass walls at the galleries and retention of original, decorative cast iron columns recreates the spatial experience of the historically significant 1897 building. A multi-media conference room and gallery of faculty offices are created within the original two story library and reading room.
Other areas of the building are rehabilitated to provide state-of-the-art classrooms, offices and building support facilities. Lecterns, a baptismal font and altar table were custom designed for the project.
