Building Engineering proudly delivered the St. Mina and St. Marina Coptic Orthodox Church project in Hallam. This impressive three-storey church was thoughtfully designed with dedicated areas for worship and childcare, meeting the needs of the expanding community. It provides essential spaces to support the church’s diverse range of services, including Sunday school, youth ministry, adult services, and clergy functions.

This project has played an important role in supporting the church’s future while fostering community growth and connection for families.

The scope included the delivery of a 500m² childcare centre, 548m² of terraces, a chapel and theatre spaces, Sunday school classrooms, a 200m² multi-purpose hall, a library, a commercial kitchen, a lift, a central courtyard, a childcare play area, and a roof terrace.

The church’s exterior features an extensive masonry façade package with a bagged, rendered, and painted finish, providing both durability and strong architectural presence.

As part of the works, a car park reconfiguration on Saffron Drive was completed, improving accessibility for the community.

This project exemplified Building Engineering’s commitment to architectural excellence and community-focused delivery.
