The 15,000-square-foot structure includes a main hall with seating for 260 people for lectures, ceremonies, discussions and musical performances including those with its 55-foot-tall custom-built organ. In addition, the facility offers meeting rooms, two meditation rooms and a gallery. Brick, high-performance glass, granite and metal panels from RHE-INZINK America Inc., Woburn, Mass., comprise the primary materials of the building's exterior palette. Design for the project was provided by tvsdesign, Atlanta. "The chapel/center was designed to elicit spiritual, sensory and emotional responses by the building users," says Robert Balke, principal at tvsdesign. "The building interior is shaped by light and sound. Like two cupped hands held slightly apart, light enters from above and from the east. Daylight and music are reflected and diffused by the warm, curving interior forms of the undulating wooden walls. The project demonstrates the highest attention to design and the discerning use of quality materials in order to give form to the university's vision."
