Chapel Renovation 2005
In the renovation process of the Chapel several values helped guide the decision making process: architectural integrity; financial and spatial stewardship; liturgical function with special focus on preaching, the sacraments, and the congregation; flexibility in the arrangement and spatial orientation; integration of arts in worship to include multi-media arts, visual arts, and music in a global context; and acoustics with maximal reverberation for singing in a space in which speech can still be heard clearly and distinctly.
