Assessing your Future Space Needs
The BGW Facility Needs Analysis
Knowledge is Power
Now more than ever before, it is crucial for church leaders to be able to clarify and communicate to their congregation a realistic scope of future facility needs that aligns with the ministry’s mission and vision. As an architecture firm that has worked with 1,000+ ministry organizations nationally, we have seen first hand how challenging it can be for ministry leaders to plan for the future without real data and expert guidance. The unprecedented events of 2020 added a whole new set of challenges in forecasting future space needs for everything from worship space to lobby / gathering areas and children & youth ministry.
A facility needs assessment is an important first step in gathering the objective information about your space needs that can help you rally support for your vision. In the case of an existing facility, an assessment can help identify deficiencies and opportunities for improvement through a remodel or refresh. For organizations planning to relocate, an assessment can help to ensure that a new building site is a suitable location that aligns with your needs.
