15,200 sq. ft. Multi-Purpose/Gym Facility
2,900 sq. ft. Church Addition

CWP has partnered with St. Columbkille Parish since 2016 to guide a comprehensive campus master plan, beginning with a feasibility study for a joint school and parish multi-purpose facility. The new two-story building replaces the former convent and preschool, providing a gymnasium, stage, concessions, and lobby on the main level, with daycare, pre-kindergarten classrooms, and meeting rooms below.

To improve flow and gathering opportunities at the church, CWP designed an expanded lobby and commons area, offering parishioners a welcoming space for connection before and after services. Site planning also includes three new playgrounds, parking improvements, and updated circulation throughout the campus.
