St. Marks Cathedral
Seattle, Washington

A comprehensive study for the upgrading of St. Mark's, a prominent Seattle landmark. The building includes a three-story tall nave with ancillary lobby and choir/organ spaces, a chapel, classrooms, and a multi-purpose auditorium. The feasibility of adding a tall steeple commensurate with the original design was studied. The structure includes massive concrete walls with steel and concrete framed floors and a steel and wood-framed roof. The study evolved into the design and construction of a short range upgrade with additional modifications to occur long range. Photo credit: Nicole Smith, Copyright 2000.
