Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart Catholic Church
Ankeny, Iowa


The renovation included work in the existing gathering space and sanctuary. New features in the sanctuary include a sound system and acoustical work, choir platforms, and a handicap-accessible altar located in the middle of the sanctuary, allowing for a centrally-focused worship space. A wood sun shade was constructed above the altar area with baffles placed every 4-6 inches that can be adjusted to an appropriate angle to block the sun.
A new, octagon-shaped chapel was added to the south side of the church that features exposed wood beams and decorative stonework. Art glass inserts provide an atmosphere for reflection and prayer.
