| The Spirit-I Scope of work represents the first planning, design, and construction phase that the Holy Spirit faith community is undertaking to build a new worship complex on property located on Smallhouse Road in Warren County, Kentucky across from Basil Griffin Park. This site has been named the “Parkside” as it is situated directly across from a large Warren County park. The Parkside Project Steering Committee (PPSC), the Parish, appointed entity charged with overseeing and expediting the project has worked with TORCH in the refinement process from the original Master Plan to develop the Spirit-I Building Plan. Refinements were made necessary due to budgetary constraints. Divided into two parts, the Spirit - I Building Plan is a document that determines the building requirements needed to support the actual design and construction. This document is viewed as the implementation vehicle that expresses the needs of the Parish as defined in the original Holy Spirit Master Plan. The Spirit-I Building Plan was issued March 24, 2008 is posted here as well.
The Spirit-I Building Plan documents and describes the space and usage requirements that are to be controlling parameters in the designed efforts of the Architect, Beringer Ciaccio Dennell Mabrey (BCDM). The Spirit-I scope of work excludes the Church as it is defined as Spirit-II. Spirit-I building(s) and site layout shall be designed to fully incorporate Spirit-II (the Church) into one unified facility. In addition,
A business plan was developed by the PPSC and the Church leadership to determine when the Church building construction would be feasible at the earliest date at the best effective cost. Also the business plan facilitated the approval of the Spirit I budget by the Parish Council. On April 30, 2008 unanimous approval by the Diocesan Administration Committee and the Bishop was granted to implement the business plan which allows us to build Spirit II (the Church) during Spirit I. The plan is to celebrate Easter season in Spirit I utilizing the new Fellowship Hall on April 4, 2010 and then have a joyful advent and Christmas Masses in the new Church that same year.
The Spirit II Building Plan like Spirit I is planned to be issued following the completion of the TORCH committee’s Master Planning efforts in August 2008. The Building Plan for Spirit I will also be updated at that time as well as gaining approval of the Spirit II budget by the new Parish Council. The architect will begin the schematic design phase for the Church in October 2008. Actual construction of the Church is planned to start by July 2009.
