This church has been built to not only serve the
needs of the Reigate Baptist Church but also to
serve the community. With this in mind, careful
planning was carried out to achieve a satisfactory
solution to accommodate these varied uses. |
|
The site
was a gently sloping site and to produce a more
or less level site, a considerable amount of cut
and fill was required. The basic structure is one
of steel framed construction with a pre-stressed
concrete floor for the first floor where the two
storey section exists. The basic concept therefore
involved a main hall used for worship and conferences;
a small hall for smaller meetings together with
school rooms, a large crèche and a large
youth room. There is also a suite of offices to
accommodate the Church’s needs. The first
floor is not only serviced by two staircases but
also by a lift for the benefit of the disabled.

One of
the main aims has been to achieve as low a maintenance
building as possible and the main worship hall is
therefore constructed using faced brickwork with
all of the windows being powder coated aluminium
which require low maintenance. To ensure a uniform
heat is provided throughout, an under floor heating
system was adopted. Also to ensure a pleasant environment
is achieved in the main hall, a mechanical ventilation
system was included.

This is
an extension to the Reigate Methodist Church and
was built in 2011. Its main use is a community centre,
having rooms and a hall for hire. It also includes
a commercial kitchen which is suitable for varying
functions and has a much needed car park to the
rear.
