一个世纪以来，第一长老会教堂都是罗利市城市结构的一部分。它是罗利市人道主义救济项目中一项健全的实体，也是城市社区中重要的一部分。教堂自19世纪建立以来，经过数次翻新和加建，却导致了几座建筑围着一个停车场而没有什么建筑上的联系。教会想通过再次更新使它变得更现代，更实用，更统一。教会成员还想使教堂对公众更加亲和，为市区的复兴做出贡献，通过雨水的再利用，能源消费最小化，还有引入“绿色景观”的概念。
The First Presbyterian Church has been a part of Raleigh’s urban fabric for over a century. It is a well-established entity in Raleigh’s humanitarian outreach programs as well as an important part of the city’s community. The church has gone through several renovations and additions since its establishment in the 1800s, however, resulting in several buildings gathered around a parking lot with little architectural connection. The congregation wants to update the campus to become more modern, practical and united. The members also want the campus to be more welcoming to the public and to contribute to downtown revitalization by reusing rainwater, minimizing energy consumption, and incorporating “greenscapes.”

项目包括更新现存的礼拜堂及其周围空间，并将现有的18000平方英尺的教学楼重建为24000平方英尺的教学楼，包含教室，图书馆，咖啡吧，档案室，公共集会空间，中庭，接待室，洗手间和办公室。现在的停车场将成为一个连接场地两端和其他景观的景观节点。作为一个信奉绿色建筑的项目，将接纳绿色建筑评估体系的许多标准，包括自然通风和采光和使用当地的材料。
The project includes renovating the existing Sanctuary and adjacent spaces, and replacing the existing 18,000-square-foot Education Building with a new 24,000-square-foot Education Building that will house classrooms, library, a coffee bar, archives, a common gathering space, atrium, reception area, bathrooms, and offices. The existing parking lot will become a landscaped link that connects the two sides of the campus, along with other landscaping. Embracing green architecture, the project will include many LEED principles, including natural ventilation and lighting and the use of locally available materials.

教堂翻新中的最可持续发展的方面是对1900年建筑原始的框架的复原，过去被随后的翻修覆盖住了。我们恢复了旧礼拜堂和旁边的交谊厅的自然光，还恢复了连接两个空间的三个宏大的赤陶土砖砌拱顶。翻新的成果和新教学楼不仅改进并扩大了作为一个礼拜空间的第一长老会教堂，同时让这座历史建筑成为城市中的典型社区。
One of the most sustainable aspects of the church renovation is the recovery of the original 1900 building fabric, which had been covered over in subsequent renovations. We have restored natural light in the old sanctuary and adjacent fellowship hall, and are restoring three magnificent terra cotta and brick arches that connect the two spaces. The result of the renovation and new Education Building will not only improve and expand First Presbyterian Church as a place of worship. it will also make this historic campus an exemplary community within the city.
