Berkeley Chapel
Tampa, Florida
When Behar Peteranecz Architecture began work on Berkeley Preparatory School’s Chapel, it focused on creating a house of prayer for all members of the school’s community, through an Episcopalian lens. Throughout the design process, the firm worked closely with the chaplain and faculty to imagine a sacred space that represents and embraces a myriad of expressions of the divine.
The playful and awe-inspiring stained-glass windows provide a glimpse into the holy, the Baptismal font offers a sign of cleansing and renewal, the layout of pews encircling the main altar serve as a reminder of God’s presence in the heart of Berkeley’s community, and the chapel itself, situated in the heart of the campus, boasts a campanile with an arched belfry that further connects all of Berkeley and represents its cultural heritage.
