Architect: ADC

To accommodate the parish’s aging population, comprehensive accessibility upgrades were completed within the 18,000 SF St. Joseph Church. The project included the installation of a new hydraulic elevator, exterior ramp, ADA-compliant restroom, and dedicated handicap-accessible (HP) seating.

A key focus of the renovation was preserving the church’s historic character. Careful attention was given to matching original finishes—such as custom millwork and tile—to ensure the modern upgrades seamlessly blended with the church’s traditional architecture. The result is a space that balances accessibility and functionality while honoring the church’s historic integrity.
