Campus Development Plan

In 1995, St. Anne approached several design firms regarding a multi-million dollar update and expansion of its undersized facilities. The parish had outgrown its original church building by such a wide margin that some weekly Masses were held in the school gymnasium.Fact|date=October 2007 After careful consideration, parish leaders chose lead architect RuckPate and YHR Partners to jointly facilitate a comprehensive master plan for the parish expansion.

YHR and RuckPate designed the new worship space to employ non-traditional, antiphonal seating with a shallow mezzanine to maintain the intimacy of the worship area. The project also included improvements to other parish families on site for fellowship, religious education, parochial education, youth activities, senior activities, outreach ministries, and administration functions. [ [http://www.yhr.com/religious/StAnne.htm YHR Partners ] ] The parish dedicated the new building on April 30, 2000. [ [http://stannebarrington.org/gateway.aspx?page=Welcome St. Anne Barrington ] ] Later that year, the parish received the 2000 Association of Licensed Architects Design Award. [ [http://www.licensedarchitect.org/designawards.htm#2000 Design Awards ] ] Among numerous other neo-Gothic artworks, the newly constructed Worship Space features twelve near life-size sculptures of saints by Jay Hall Carpenter.
