Lucas Christian Academy

A new campus designed to nurture fully equipped disciples through Christ-centered education

Project Brief

GFF partnered with Lucas Christian Academy to develop a new campus on a 16-acre site adjacent to its current location. This initial phase will accommodate over 460 students in grades K through 12 and approximately 20 staff members. The project includes approximately 41,000 square feet of space, featuring 26 classrooms, a multi-purpose area for worship services and athletic activities, a lobby/dining area, administrative offices, and various support areas. Site improvements such as drop-off/pick-up lanes and parking are also included to enhance functionality and accessibility.

The design aims to support the school’s mission of providing a Christ-centered education that partners with parents to develop fully equipped disciples. The project emphasizes creating a cohesive and functional environment that meets the educational and spiritual needs of the students while fostering a strong sense of community.

This project from GFF’s Faith & Community Studio highlights the firm’s commitment to designing spaces that enhance the educational experience and support the school’s vision of nurturing students in a Christian environment.
