GBC Addition

(updated 4/21/05)

Grace is adding on to its facility.  Prior to his death, Arthur Nanney proposed and promoted a new addition to our facility between the building and the existing parking lot.  He and his friend (not a member of Grace) Leon Trivits are providing some of the financial support for this addition in memory of Arthur's twin girls and one of Leon Trivits sons who died in a car crash in 1958.  The addition will provide two additional rooms (an office and a reception room?), AND a covered, drive through that many members have been looking to achieve for some time.  Following are pictures that are taken during construction and will be added to at appropriate times.
The following is a drawing of the view from the parking lot.  The lowest roof line is the "drive-thru", the middle roof line is the additional rooms with storage area overhead.  The highest is the existing 1977 building.

The addition is being supervised by facilities director, Lil Norton.


Here's the footprint of the new addition.
