In Columbus, Indiana, Force Construction is honored to extend its long-standing partnership with St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and School through the completion of a state-of-the-art athletic facility. This $6.3 million gymnasium, affectionately named The Den, is designed to accommodate basketball, volleyball, physical education, and various community activities. Our history with St. Peter’s is rich, having previously constructed both the church sanctuary and the school. The Den marks another significant milestone in this enduring relationship, reflecting our commitment to supporting the growth and mission of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and School. The Den features a seating capacity of 600, along with additional meeting rooms and space for fitness classes, embodying our commitment to multifunctional and community-centric design. The construction of this facility required close collaboration with St. Peter’s leaders to ensure it would serve both the church’s mission and the community’s needs. One of the most touching elements of this project was the inclusion of Scripture written on the flooring beneath the gym’s wood surface by St. Peter’s students, symbolizing the foundation of faith upon which this project was built. We are particularly proud of our ability to complete this project within budget, allowing the church to remain debt-free, which aligns with St. Peter’s philosophy of Godly stewardship. This facility is not only a testament to our advanced construction techniques and self-performing capabilities but also a symbol of the lasting relationships we build with our clients. The Den stands as a beacon of community spirit and faith, ready to inspire and serve for generations to come. Moreover, The Den is a shining example of our Design-Build capabilities. The facility was expertly designed by Force Design, a subsidiary of Force Construction, ensuring a seamless integration of design and construction processes. This integrated approach allowed us to deliver a facility that not only meets functional needs but also inspires and uplifts the community, reflecting the values of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and School.
