Project Spotlight: Central Community Church Chapel

We are so excited to share photos of the recently completed Central Landing Chapel at Central Community Church! The stunning 10,420 square foot Chapel features Romanesque-style proportions, with the height being 1.3 times greater than the width. The Chapel’s covered entry opens to a foyer and pew seating with a central aisle and two flanking ambulatories. A grand hall leads to the hearth and bridal rooms and provides a connection to the Church. The adjacent Chapel Garden provides great views from the Chapel and also offers an outdoor venue for weddings and other events. It was an honor partnering with SPT Architecture and Central Community Church on such a special project!

Project Update – Fidelity Bank RISE: A Beacon of Progress

It’s been an exciting week in downtown Wichita as our tower crane at the Fidelity Bank Car Park arrived! Conco crews prepared the base several weeks ago that contains 16 tons of rebar and 220 yards of concrete. The crane stands 160 feet tall with the jib and counter-jib at 320 feet long. The American and Wichita flags will be hung within the coming weeks, but check out the custom Conco sign that lights up at night. This is the first tower crane in Wichita since the construction of the Hyatt over 20 years ago and we’re thrilled to use it in our partnership with Fidelity Bank!
