Chapel of St. John the Divine

Champaign, IL

Originally designed in 1925 as an eight-bay Gothic church, only three bays and a temporary wood-frame chancel were built before the Great Depression. Nearly 80 years later the Episcopal Church Foundation commissioned IGW to complete it.

The completion added two high bays, a sacristy area, central air, and accessibility upgrades, with a neo-Gothic exterior of limestone and stained glass.

Christ Lutheran Church

Normal, IL

A three-phase master plan. Phase 1 built a 12,000-square-foot Fellowship Hall, which served as the initial worship space, plus offices, classrooms, and the Shining Lights Pre-School.

Phase 2, a 14,000-square-foot, 460-seat sanctuary, was completed within a few years. Phase 3, an education wing, has a preliminary design and awaits funding.

Spiritual Life Center

Cunningham Children's Home, Urbana, IL

A worship and healing center on the north edge of the Cunningham campus, anchored by the Chapel of Hope with a prayer room, alumni room, catering kitchen, and offices.

A covered drop-off forms part of a new campus roundabout.

IGW has completed more than sixty church projects in nearly five decades, among them the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center, St. John Lutheran Church, the St. Matthew Lutheran Church addition, and St. Matthew Roman Catholic Church.
