Grace Family Church

Grace Family Church

Adaptive Re-Use  |  Tampa, FL  |  50,000 SQ FT  |  Completed in 2015

The renovation of half of an existing single-story warehouse for the congregation of Grace Family Church in Tampa provided EMPAD with a complex set of needs for design solutions that would best serve this growing church. Providing complete demolition of the interiors and creating a new sanctuary, lobby, classrooms, coffee shop, restrooms, staff offices, childcare center and exterior courtyard, the design outcome was one that enabled this community of people with such a wide range of activities to best function within this new environment and continue to serve the surrounding Tampa community from a central location.

Galen College of Nursing

Galen College of Nursing

Interior Renovation  |  St. Petersburg, FL  |  57,000 SQ FT  |  Completed in 2018

Galen College of Nursing is one of the largest educators of nurses in the country. In response to the requirements of the community, this tenant improvement demanded a forward – thinking design to cater to the distinctive needs of both students and staff. EMPAD undertook the task of envisioning a space that harmonizes utility and design. The result is an intricately planned layout that encompasses a spectrum of essential features including offices, reception area, break rooms, versatile conference rooms and dynamic study areas. Every element has been tailored to foster an environment conducive to the pursuit of education and the provision of healthcare services. This project stands as a testament to our commitment to creating educational facilities that inspire growth and collaboration.
