Alpenlight Worship Center
A 1,800-seat worship facility with long-span steel roof framing over a column-free sanctuary. Assembly occupancy drove the engineering: high-volume ventilation sized for peak occupancy swings, acoustic-sensitive duct routing to keep mechanical noise out of the sanctuary, and site design for surge parking and traffic flow on event days.
Portfolio record
This case study is based on the published Apex Grid portfolio record for Alpenlight Worship Center. It does not add project facts beyond that record.

My founder perspective
I base this perspective on the published portfolio record. I read the Alpenlight record as an assembly-space coordination problem. The long-span sanctuary, occupancy swings, acoustically sensitive duct routing, surge parking, and event-day traffic all come from the published record, and I would keep those structural, MEP, and civil conditions connected throughout the engineering conversation.
