Narrative:

The University would like to construct a non-denominational chapel on school ground for students and faculty to be able to attend. One of their biggest demands was that it be incorporated within the campus and also to somehow incorporate the use of light into it. The school would also like to make sure that it does not resemble any other type of temple or church so it would have to be an original and unique design. The last request by the school is that it somehow represents the separation of state and church since it is a state college.
