Narrative: You have been selected to design a proposed non-denominational chapel located on the campus of Farmingdale State College. The College wants this to be a profoundly spiritual place that people of all faiths can worship and reflect on life’s events. The College believes this can be achieved by the creative use of light. The College has outlined a preliminary program that is listed below. A site has yet to selected on campus; the College is looking for guidance from the Architect.

SITE SELECTION:
I located the chapel in an open space that would be a good fit and allow for good amount of light to hit the building. I also wanted to place it in area that was close to the other buildings on campus. I wanted to keep the building in the same composition as the other buildings and not on an angle or separated from the other buildings on campus. I wanted to keep everything integrated.
