ST. JOHN’S EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL

RELIGIOUS/HISTORIC RESTORATION

 

St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral

YEAR:
2019

LOCATION:
Knoxville, TN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Knoxville asked MHM to design a new Welcome Center, upgrade the Nursery, and provide design guidance for improvements to the sanctuary in preparation for a new Goulding & Wood organ. The Welcome Center provides a “living room” for the cathedral church and doubles as the location of its liturgical library. The library shelving is based on the design of the J.P. Morgan Library in New York City. 

Improvements to the sanctuary include repairs to water-damaged plaster, removal of 1960s acoustical tiles from the crossing tower, new paint throughout, some reorganization of the seating areas, new decorative painting in the tower, and revamped LED lighting with a new lighting control system.
