Cambridge, MA – The steel framing that forms the future home of the Cambridge Stake Center for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was topped off recently, marking a critical point in the construction of the building as the final steel beam was lifted into place.
The project, overseen by Consigli Construction Co., Inc., consists of a two-story, multi-purpose structure with classrooms, offices and meeting rooms surrounding a double-height sanctuary space in the center of the building.
To the rear of the sanctuary is a cultural hall, that will be used mostly for social activities or as an overflow room if required for larger holiday services. When complete, it will become the headquarters of the Cambridge stake, representing a regional population of 4,000 Mormons worshipping in 14 area congregations.
The 35,892sf project is scheduled for completion in February, 2010. The architect on the project is Burt, Hill of Boston.
