架构师提供的文本描述。一个多世纪以来，第一座长老会一直是罗利城市结构的一部分。它是罗利人道主义外展项目中一个公认的实体，也是该市社区的重要组成部分。然而，自19世纪建立以来，教堂已经经历了几次翻修和增建，导致几座建筑聚集在一个几乎没有建筑联系的停车场周围。教友们想要更新校园，使之更加现代化、实用和统一。成员们还希望校园对公众更加欢迎，并通过重复利用雨水、尽量减少能源消耗和融入“绿化带”，为市中心的振兴做出贡献。

Text description provided by the architects. The First Presbyterian Church has been a part of Raleigh’s urban fabric for over a century. It is a well-established entity in Raleigh’s humanitarian outreach programs as well as an important part of the city’s community. The church has gone through several renovations and additions since its establishment in the 1800s, however, resulting in several buildings gathered around a parking lot with little architectural connection. The congregation wants to update the campus to become more modern, practical and united. The members also want the campus to be more welcoming to the public and to contribute to downtown revitalization by reusing rainwater, minimizing energy consumption, and incorporating “greenscapes.”

该项目包括翻修现有的庇护所和邻近空间，并将现有的18，000平方英尺教育大楼替换为新的24，000平方英尺的教育大楼，该大楼将容纳教室、图书馆、咖啡厅、档案馆、公共聚会场所、中庭、接待区、浴室和办公室。现有的停车场将成为连接校园两侧和其他景观的景观纽带。该项目采用绿色建筑，将包括许多LEED原则，包括自然通风和照明，以及使用当地可用的材料。

The project includes renovating the existing Sanctuary and adjacent spaces, and replacing the existing 18,000-square-foot Education Building with a new 24,000-square-foot Education Building that will house classrooms, library, a coffee bar, archives, a common gathering space, atrium, reception area, bathrooms, and offices. The existing parking lot will become a landscaped link that connects the two sides of the campus, along with other landscaping. Embracing green architecture, the project will include many LEED principles, including natural ventilation and lighting and the use of locally available materials.

教堂翻修最可持续的方面之一是收回原来1900年的建筑织物，后来的翻修中已经覆盖了这些织物。我们已经恢复了自然光在旧的圣所和邻近的团契大厅，并正在修复三个宏伟的兵马俑和砖拱门连接这两个空间。修缮和新建教育大楼的结果，不仅将改善和扩大第一长老会作为礼拜场所的规模。它也将使这个历史悠久的校园成为城市内的模范社区。

One of the most sustainable aspects of the church renovation is the recovery of the original 1900 building fabric, which had been covered over in subsequent renovations. We have restored natural light in the old sanctuary and adjacent fellowship hall, and are restoring three magnificent terra cotta and brick arches that connect the two spaces. The result of the renovation and new Education Building will not only improve and expand First Presbyterian Church as a place of worship. it will also make this historic campus an exemplary community within the city.
