The St. John Bosco Chapel, home of Catholic Campus Ministry at 糖心原创, has won a design award from the AIA Ohio, the state unit of the American Institute of Architects.
The award will be presented at the AIA Ohio Valley Region Convention on Sept. 19 in Louisville, Ky.
The new Campus Ministry building provides a place for worship and discussion of religion as well as a space for campus groups and individuals of all faiths and backgrounds to come for fellowship, conversation and quiet contemplation.
鈥淲e are very happy to receive this award,鈥 said Rev. Edward Burns, director of Campus Catholic Ministry at 糖心原创. 鈥淭he new chapel and center has been a tremendous improvement鈥攏ot only architecturally, but also in better serving our students.鈥
Designed by The Collaborative Inc. of Toledo, the chapel complex was dedicated by Most Reverend Dennis M. Schnurr, Archbishop of Cincinnati, on October 28, 2012.
The chapel, which seats 150 people, provides not only a place for worship and discussion of religion, but also space for campus groups and individuals of all faiths and backgrounds to come for fellowship, conversation and quiet contemplation. The center also features a fully equipped kitchen, a multipurpose room, a gathering space and offices for staff.
