Master Plan and Education Facility & Worship Center

Saint Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church

The firm has completed a master plan for St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church’s 24-acre campus in North Shelby County.  The master plan was based upon a twenty-year multi-phased building program for the Church that Davis Architects, Inc. prepared in concert with the Church’s building committee over a several month period.  Site elements for the campus include a 1,200-seat Church, a kindergarten through eighth grade Catholic School, Child Development Center (CDC), Family Life Center (with gymnasium and full service commercial kitchen), and Administration Building.  The existing Church building will be renovated in the future to serve the campus as the main administrative hub for the complex, with the school and CDC office needs being met at their respective buildings.  Playgrounds, playing fields, Stations of the Cross prayer trail, and other site items are also indicated on the master plan.  The firm has prepared contract documents for phase one, which includes a child development center and a banquet hall.
