Urbana, Illinois

Symbolic of the growth seen in the Vineyard movement, the Vineyard Urbana has grown from its first 18,000 square foot facility to a mega church facility encompassing over 80,000 square feet today. Seating over 1,100 worshippers during Phase I, the new addition nestles between and connects two existing buildings into one facility, providing a new dedicated auditorium with theater seating, additional classrooms, a large indoor / outdoor cafe, and a commons area with a bookstore and hospitality room, allowing multiple opportunities for fellowship.

Consistent with the Vineyard's style of worship, the project also includes plenty of hi-tech equipment, including a 50,000 watt left-center-right line array sound system, two wide-format rear projection screens, and theatrical production lighting. Audio / Visual features, which are enhanced through the use of diffusion walls and acoustical treatments, can be fully distributed into other areas of the new building, through a network of monitors and speakers.
