This project was centered around the symbolic and physical transformation of the divinity school leaving its home of over a century. The design focused on the adaptive re-use of space to create a new campus where students and faculty could engage in the Rochester community. The existing loading dock was transformed into the school’s new chapel. The addition of skylights fill their space with natural light.
BIG IDEA
The new space embraces the legacy of the school and supports its growth, while proving it is not restricted to a specific space.
“It was a pleasure to be part of the team creating a new home that expresses Colgate’s core values, providing space for interactions between students, staff and the community.”
