Church to Feature World's Largest Electrochromic Window

Staff

August 1, 2006

Building Design and Construction

Church at Pinnacle Hills, located in Rogers, Ark., will house the world's largest electronically tintable window, a 6,000-sf electrochromic glass wall. The 60-foot-tall window overlooks the outdoor baptistry, a small lake, and three crosses ranging in height from 145 feet to 175 feet. The 169,700-sf church, currently under construction, is situated on a 28-acre site, and will have seating for 2,400 people. Interior wall colors and flooring patterns will have historical, Biblical meanings. A children's ministry, bookstore/café, and lobby will also be housed in the church.

Future expansion plans include a chapel, activity center, music rehearsal hall, administrative offices, and an additional 1,000 seats. San Diego-based Tucker Sadler Architects is providing full architectural and interior design services for the project.
