The Chapel renovation was the work of Pollen Architects, headed by Elizabeth Alford. Maček Furniture was part of the team at the earliest stages of planning. Our contribution - to design and build the Chapel furniture - was coordinated with the architects and the director of campus ministries, Father Peter Walsh.

The Presider’s Chair was made of southern ash lumber to match the congregation pews.

The tabernacle

The ritual act of opening the tabernacle door is expressed by the door’s unique wooden hinges. No handle is needed. When the key is turned, the door is pushed open by recessed magnets.
