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.
