Lopez Salas Architects provided architectural design services for the adaptive-reuse and renovation of the existing Dietert chapel building to better serve multi-use campus functions at Schreiner University. In lieu of demolition of the outdated facility, LSA proposed a more functional program/space plan and performed a complete interior renovation and exterior redesign in order to preserve the existing building.  The end result was an innovative, multi-use facility that afforded the client considerable cost savings.

The project included 11,347 s.f. of renovations for a new recital hall, kitchen/food prep area, new offices, fellowship hall, storage rooms in the backstage area, resloping of the chapel floor, updated corridors, redesigned chapel space and front entryway with all-glass foyer and updated lobby, and addition of intimate outside labyrinth seating area.
