First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Chelmsford

Description

A quintessential mid-18th Century town center wooden church, Chelmsford UU church engaged us to develop their Master Plan with a focus on accessibility, to further their mission of inclusiveness and welcome to all members of the community. Our design for a new religious education classroom, meeting and office wing included options for access to the sanctuary’s choir loft and parish hall community rooms and to take advantage of their open setting on the town common and burial ground. As a first built project, the steeple and bell tower were restored. In cooperation with and partially funded by the Town of Chelmsford whose town clock resides within the tower, the Community Preservation Act was put to public benefit in a thorough restoration of the tower, with energy-efficient and low-maintenance LED lighting.
