Rebuilding with Purpose at Adrian United Methodist Church

Big things are happening at Adrian United Methodist Church! After the devastating fire in 2024, the congregation has shown incredible resilience and faith as they begin the journey of rebuilding. We’re honored to walk alongside them in this next chapter.

Matt has been hard at work designing the new addition and Youth Building, and the vision is truly inspiring. These spaces will not only restore what was lost—they’ll create new opportunities for connection, growth, and ministry. Check out the stunning renderings he created, which bring this vision to life!

Being part of this process is more than just a project—it’s a privilege. We’re grateful to contribute to a space that will serve generations to come and continue to be a cornerstone of the Adrian community.

Stay tuned for more updates as the rebuild progresses. The future is bright at Adrian United Methodist!

Logan-Rogersville Multipurpose Building Ribbon Cutting

On September 16th, we had the great honor of joining the Logan-Rogersville community to celebrate the grand opening of their brand-new multipurpose building. It was a proud moment for everyone involved, and we’re thrilled to have played a role in bringing this incredible facility to life.

This state-of-the-art building is a game-changer for students and the broader Rogersville community. Designed with versatility and year-round usability in mind, it ensures that weather will never stand in the way of practice, training, or recreation again.

🏈 First Floor Highlights

•            A 50-yard turfed football field

•            Dedicated band practice space

•            A fully equipped wrestling room with locker rooms

•            A film room for football players

•            Training room

🎾 Second Floor Features

•            Three indoor batting cages for baseball and softball

•            Pickleball courts and a tennis court

•            A brand-new cheerleading room

This facility isn't just a building, it's where ideas ignite and futures are shaped. From athletics to the arts, it supports a wide range of student activities and fosters a stronger sense of community. We’re grateful to have been part of this milestone and can’t wait to see the impact it will have for years to come.

Our First Blog

Welcome to Ball Architects

Forty years ago, Jack D. Ball founded a small, design-oriented firm with a bold mission: to positively influence the built environment of our region. That mission still guides us today.

At Ball Architects, we believe architecture is more than buildings—it’s about people, purpose, and place. Over 70% of our work comes from repeat clients, a testament to the trust we’ve built and the relationships we continue to nurture. We’re proud of that number, because it reflects our commitment to personalized service and collaborative design.

💡 Why We’re Starting This Blog

This space will be more than just project updates—it’s a window into our process, our people, and our passion. Here’s what you can expect:

•            Project Spotlights: Behind-the-scenes looks at our civic and community-focused work, from concept to completion.

•            Design Insights: Thoughts on architecture as a service, and how we approach each project with fresh eyes and open ears.

•            Team Perspectives: Meet the energetic, forward-thinking individuals who make up our intentionally small and highly involved team.

•            Client Stories: Celebrating the partnerships that shape our work and the communities we serve.

•            Industry Reflections: Commentary on trends, challenges, and opportunities in civic architecture and beyond.

🤝 Our Philosophy

We design with collaboration at the core. Every project, no matter the size, requires open communication and a shared vision. That’s why we consider everyone with a vested interest part of the design team: architects, engineers, owners, and end-users alike.

We’re excited to use this blog as a platform to share, reflect, and connect. Whether you’re a longtime client, a fellow designer, or simply curious about the built world around you, we invite you to join the conversation.

Let’s build something meaningful together
