Glavin Family Chapel at Babson College
Wellesley, MA
The Glavin Family Chapel is a 30ft high space that provides a sanctuary for nondenominational gatherings of up to 150 people on the Babson Campus. All seating can be removed to allow for flexibility in the use of this multi-functional space. The ceiling sculpture, built in the likeness of a boat’s hull, is fitted with lighting and sound equipment. Two walls of glass open the sanctuary to the light-filled wooded area beyond. The chapel was constructed as part of the Campus Quadrangle project in which Erland also constructed the Reynolds Campus Center and the Sorenson Center for the Arts. It was purposely sited on a hillside to create an ascending path from the heart of the campus to connect with the sanctuary and its natural surroundings.
