Project 3: Light

Architectural Design II - ARC 257

This project focuses on the importance of creating a new non-denominational church to Farmingdale State College's existing campus that allows students to gather together without the need of religion being forced upon them. There will be three chapels: the main one, a memorial chapel and meditational chapel. There is also an office space accompanied by a library, conference room and two bathrooms.

I went with this location because it was placed away from other buildings but was still a popular location since it was located in the middle of the campus.
