Cambria City church reuse charrette
Cambria City church reuse charrette
In the Cambria City neighborhood of Johnstown, PA, Partners for Sacred Places is working with local community leaders and residents to find new uses for three significant historic churches - St. Columba's, Ss. Casimir and Emerich, and Immaculate Conception - that were closed in 2009 after five parishes were merged into one by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown.With funding raised through Save Our Steeples and the Johnstown Regional Partnership, Partners was retained to help lead the planning process, together with theJohnstown Area Heritage Association and the EADS Group. The months leading up to the charette centered on forming a steering committee to help carry work forward after its conclusion.Over the weekend of November 18th to 20th, more than 100 members of the community turned out to tour the churches and brainstorm ideas for new uses. Suggestions included performing arts venues, an indoor rock-climbing studio, and a conservatory and restaurant - to name just a few. Architects who attended each session then createdrenderings of several re-use ideas.
