PRA designed a 38,000 sq. ft. chapel that is expressed volumetrically as a soaring cross within an octagonal form. The main entrance is announced with monumental doors and a glass cross, leading to a narthex where students, faculty and visitors gather before prayer services. Classrooms and hospitality space will occupy an accessible lower level in the future.
