Site 3 - Foundation Between Parish Hall and Church
The Big Challenge
• Runoff and water management associated with downspouts.
• Solution: Integrate a circular seating area into the space
• Utilize the footing for the seating space as a “dry well” for catching and managing water from downspouts.
= current drain outflow
Proposed seating area to Function as a dry well
Challenges
