UNDERSTANDING THE KEY FEATURES OF KAY ONWUKWE’S DESIGN PLAN ~ DETAIL • OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE GAIN: Approx. 5,300 square feet • SANCTUARY SEATING DOUBLES: from current regular seating of 80 increases to 180; to packed house seating of 136 increases to 276, from inflexible seating to flexible • FELLOWSHIP HALL AREA INCREASES ~50%: from current 810 square feet without storage to 1,275 square feet in the hall plus separate storage • FLEXIBLE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM AREA: allows us to sell Nielsen House and return children’s programming to the main building • MUSIC STORAGE AND REHEARSAL SPACE: from small storage and no rehearsal space to adequate storage and separate rehearsal spaces (Religious Education space) Some additional gains with this plan that we didn’t specifically request: • New, expanded main entrance with both lobby and vestibule space for easy circulation • Porch and courtyard • Updated finishes (light fixtures, paint, floor treatments) for existing parts of the building so the new and old parts of the building blend seamlessly • Sanctuary windows replaced with better quality
BUDGET REVIEW ( WHY DO WE THINK WE HAVE THIS BUDGET & WHAT IS THAT BUDGET) $850K-$1,150K Amount Financial Feasibility Consultant Barry Finkelstein estimates we can raise through a capital campaign for a design scheme that meets our goals $169K Our design would allow us to sell Nielsen House and move the children’s programming back into our main building. Estimated v alue Nielsen House $229K, minus existing $45K mortgage, minus $16K closing and transition fees $100K The amount that the Finance Committee recommends for a conservative mortgage, that doesn’t require us to grow in numbers in order to afford $1,119K TO 1,419K TOTAL PROJECT RESOURCES $1,160 K current estimate of total building hard costs for Onwukwe design $ 220K estimated building soft costs (architect and contractor fees, $20K outdoor storage building, $10K chairs; $20K furnishings; $100 K contingencies) $1380 K TOTAL ESTIMATED COST -$1770 yearly utilities at Nielsen House +$7,767 estimated increase in building utilities, yearly, existing main building and building expansion +$3780 increased building maintenance costs, yearly -$ 9300 Nielsen House, yearly mortgage +$ 8160 new $100K mortgage, yearly rate $8.6 K TOTAL ESTIMATED IMPACT ON YEARLY ANNUAL BUDGET This means that we do no need to count on more than 5.5% operating budget growth Long term capital expenses: $54.5 K-59.5 K estimate of amount needed in capital fund for large repairs to existing building not covered in the renovation (front doors, tower repair, furnace replacement, new metal roof )
