"It was our very first significant facility design and build-out and Centura gave us the confidence to take on the project and move forward to a very successful completion. The project lead from Centura, Richard Fogal, could not have done a better job at leading us through all the phases of the design and build process, bringing the project in on time and with exceptional results."
Donald C. Greb, Business AdministratorSUMMARY:
“One church, 2 locations” is the distinct slogan for Riverside Community Church of Oakmont, PA (Pittsburgh). With the original location in the heart of the riverside community of Oakmont, expansion possibilities are very limited. Fueled by consistent growth, the church decided to create a satellite location at the newly constructed Pittsburgh Mills Mall. When the time came for them to relocate this venue to a larger location in the mall, Centura worked with the church leadership team to convert two 5,000 square-foot tenant spaces into one homogenous floor plan containing worship, Christian education, and fellowship space with the distinct feel that would appeal to the church’s target audience.

Centura has also worked with the church on modifications to the Oakmont site as well as a continued search for suitable re-location sites in the area.
