St. Croix Lutheran High School Chapel
West St. Paul, Minn.
Architect: Kodet Architectural Group,
Ltd. (www.kodet.com)
6,400 square feet; copper walls
Three prominent curved walls represent
the Trinity. The chapel seats more than 500 and allows for a variety of
arrangements responding to dynamic needs. Also features antiphonal seating
for worship. Each side wall window is angled, as are the coffers above
the space frame, to direct and control sound. To help absorb unnecessary
reverberation, padding is placed behind the curved copper walls. Copper
was selected as it will change appearance over time, representing life's
changes.
