Catholic
Student Center

Creating a spiritual home away from home is a fundamental design objective in the new Catholic Student Center. It will enable us to expand campus ministry programming where it is currently limited. Its more contemporary aesthetic features open and multifunctional spaces including:

• Dynamic and energetic entrance

• Large atrium and cafe

• Bible Study areas

• Collaborative Pods perfect for study and leadership development

• Redesigned Jeanmard Hall suitable for speakers and conferences

• Expanded commercial kitchen

• Dining area for community meals

Church Sanctuary

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the heart of our Ministry. The new Our Lady of Wisdom Church will honor the humble, yet beautiful, character of the existing chapel and will repurpose signature icons including the Stations of the Cross and statuary to name a few. Featured design elements:

• Traditional cruciform layout with a long central isle

• Entry vestibule leading to main entrance

• Expand seating to 600 (currently 450)

• Direct access to the sanctuary from within the student center

• Expanded Adoration chapel

• Cry room

• Sacristy

• Bell tower

• Enlarged choir loft and choir rehearsal area

• Confessionals
