Brian Healy Architect’s proposal for the Korean Church of Boston is based on the decision to reuse and extend the life cycle of the existing church building as much as possible. This helps conserve resources and reduce waste and the environmental impact of both demolition and construction. The plan also reorganized the church’s existing spaces to minimize the proposed size of the needed addition. The new Children’s Chapel and Education Center has the possibility of obtaining Silver LEED rating under LEED v2.2 which had jurisdiction when the project started.
