Campus expansion to the Amman Baptist School in Amman Jordan. The intent here is to maximize the great location the ABS has in the neighborhood and create a means for financial generators. This multi faceted approach to Phase I lead in the direction of a multi faceted building. Three major components make up the Multi-Purpose Building of Phase I; a multi-purpose Hall, Community/School Bookstore with Café and three levels of Rentable Office Space. Seating for 250-260 people will be provided in the Hall for school activities, community events and local churches. This will free up valuable space on campus for the school to better utilize their space, reduce the amount of non-school traffic on campus and provide a more accessible space for community uses. Bookstores and Cafés are those unique “Third Places”, with Home and Work being the first two. They provide areas for relaxing, social networking and help a community or neighborhood unite. Our intent is to provide that “Third Place” for the school and community to enjoy in a family oriented atmosphere. Adjoining the Hall and Bookstore is a Piazza to further the activity from within to the exterior and beyond, creating a point of interest in West Amman. Phase II would be to complement all this with a 725 seat Auditorium building, further establishing a presence for the ABS on their campus and within their community
