Tellepsen has had the privilege of partnering with Second Baptist on constructing and renovating several building projects that are a part of their continued expansion. Projects have included the construction of the church's West Campus in the Katy area. The project included a three-story, steel structure, with 180,000-square-foot Education Building. The building provided additional space to facilitate growth for older elementary school to high school aged-children. The previous educational space was renovated and utilized for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. The project also incorporated several unique features including a black box theater, 40,000-45,000 square-foot recreation center, landscaped courtyard, GIGL Theater, and baptismal area. The GiGL (Growing in God's Love) program for preschool children at Second Baptist is a religious educational program that uses puppets and live actors. The 7,300-square-foot interior renovations include a theater and four adjunct remodeled classrooms that flank the theater. The black-box theater, painted in a fun and lively color palette and incandescent spot lighting create a dramatic feel in contrast to the adjacent classroom space. A purple-colored freestanding bench serves as the perimeter of the theater space and doubles as a seating area for parents. The lay-in ceiling was removed, exposing the structure, opening up the space to include the 22-foot gabled attic. The aqua-colored sound booth contains controls for a full built-in theatrical lighting system and A/V system. The building for the black-box theater, which housed the stage area for plays and movies, proved challenging to construct being that it was located in a surrounded courtyard. The theater was required access to the courtyard through the new building, which surrounded it. The pathway could not be constructed until the theater was complete.
