The St. Joseph’s Chapel renovation transformed an unconditioned and dimly lighted space into a comfortable and elevated worship experience. The chapel’s architectural features in marble, wood and brass were cleaned and restored, including the Stations of the Cross. New mechanical systems, sprinkler system, LED lighting and lighting controls provide code compliance and increased energy efficiency. The stained glass was repaired and plated for protection and improved thermal control. New, dramatic flood lights illuminate the large, stained-glass windows for prominent display at night. New pendant lights impart visual interest and enhance spatial awareness. Unused confessional booths were converted into discreet storage. New chancel furniture, lectern, pews and flexible seating were added to maximize capacity. A light color palette, bright terrazzo flooring with school logo, and glass mosaic tiled columns help create an aesthetically welcoming environment that richly inspires students, staff and visitors.
