Facility

Perimeter Church is located on 110 acres in North Fulton County at 9500 Medlock Bridge Road. About 5 acres of the property includes 2 lakes. There is parking for about 2,000 cars. To facilitate activities for Perimeter School, the church also has a Junior Olympic Swimming Pool, 200 meter track and field, 2 baseball fields that can be converted into 3 soccer fields, and a full ropes course along with a picnic pavilion.[5]

Completed in August 1996, the heart of Perimeter Church, Buildings A & B, are 140,000 square feet. It features a 2300-seat auditorium, a fellowship hall, a gym, and classrooms for Perimeter School. In 2004, renovations added a Youth Auditorium that seats 800 along with a bookstore to the facility.[6] Building C, originally completed in 2000, is the hub for Children's ministries containing the nursery, children's ministry auditorium, and more school classrooms. The 7,000 square foot Annex and Church Offices buildings were completed in 2008. The Day Chapel and Ministry Center were completed in October 2010. The chapel seats 462. Founders Chapel is an outdoor chapel that seats 40. It was completed in 2014.[7] As of late May 2017, a new 9000 square foot atrium and cafe have been established by the main entrance of the church, as well as a new relocated bookstore.[8]

gollark: I counted that, yes.
gollark: It filters out one guild on which I discuss somewhat real-world things, filters out DMs, removes pings, and reads the messages.csv files, as well as producing a CSV output for aitextgen.
gollark: ```python#!/usr/bin/env python3import os, os.path, json, csv, reOUT = "/tmp/messages.csv"with open(OUT, "w") as g: outwriter = csv.writer(g) DATA_ROOT = "/tmp/messages" for x in os.listdir(DATA_ROOT): dir = os.path.join(DATA_ROOT, x) if os.path.isdir(dir): with open(os.path.join(dir, "channel.json")) as f: meta = json.load(f) if meta["type"] == 0 and ("guild" not in meta or meta["guild"]["id"] != "771081279403065344"): print(x, meta.get("name", "???"), meta.get("guild", "???")) with open(os.path.join(dir, "messages.csv")) as f: r = csv.reader(f) for row in r: channel, timestamp, message, _ = row message = re.sub("<@[0-9]+>", "", message) outwriter.writerow((message, ))```
gollark: And the messages folder → CSV dumper is something like 20 lines of python.
gollark: Why the free time thing though? It's not like looking up how to do this is particularly time consuming.
