Trinity Lutheran Church engaged GROTH to create a master plan on their existing site to provide for expansion needs.
St. Francis of Assisi Chapel
Cardinal Stritch University | Milwaukee, WI
Creative Repurposing of Space Delivers Dedicated Chapel Space
While Cardinal Stritch University hopes to be able to consider a dedicated chapel building in the future, the immediate need was for an adequate space to accommodate up to approximately 150 people in a suitably visible and accessible location within the existing building.
Fortunately, such a space existed in a grossly under-used second-floor corridor overlooking the main entrance. This space already had wonderful natural-lighting and architectural appeal which is very appropriate for a Franciscan chapel.
To foster a sense of community, the space is oriented around a strong cross-axis. This layout provides a limited number of seats directly in front of the altar (appropriate for the more intimate typical daily mass), and sufficient seating on each side of the altar for the larger events that the chapel will now be able to hold.
