First Presbyterian Church

Additions and Renovations

Knoxville, Tennessee

Tasked with creating a cohesive and simplified entry and wayfinding system for this downtown Knoxville church, JAI captured existing interstitial space between historic and new buildings to create a central spine or main street for the growing congregation.

Selected through a competitive selection process, JAI completed a master plan for renovations and additions to First Presbyterian’s 68,000 square-foot historic campus. Highlights of the master plan included full accessibility from multiple entry points, upgraded interior finishes and facilities, a new welcome center, church library, children’s courtyard, columbarium and new central “Main Street” corridor that acts as an interior organizing element and church gathering space.
