PERIMETER CHURCH Children and Youth Ministries Theaters Duluth, Georgia In order to accommodate a rapidly growing and thriving youth ministry, Perimeter Church added two buildings with a covered connector on its campus in Duluth, Georgia. KidsTown was designed as a city street with a series of storefronts, town homes, and light poles that lead to a 400-seat children’s theater.  The theater features an asymmetrical split-thrust stage and carpeted stepped seating for 400.  The Bricks, which serves middle and high school aged youth, was designed as an “industrial” or loft type space with a coffee shop, rock climbing wall, caged basketball courts, and game room.  The space also includes a bookstore and a large auditorium with flexible seating for as many as 750. The two additions totaled 90,000 sf and were constructed adjacent to the main Sanctuary and the Christian School.  Safety of members and visitors was of paramount concern and required careful planning and sequencing of construction activities to maintain safe and convenient access throughout the construction process.
