Task

Connected to nature and its campus surroundings, the Samuel J. Cadden Chapel utilizes natural materials and an expressive wood structure to create a welcome place of respite for both celebration and remembrance. Entering from the Library Green, the visitor sheds the bustle and stresses of college life and passes into the serenity of the light-filled gathering place with its inspiring landscape and memorial garden views. Taking advantage of its hillside setting and opening to the garden, the lower-level gallery and prayer rooms provide space for small groups and individual reflection furthering the physical and spiritual connection to the natural setting.
