The main goals of the Chapel Renovation are:

• to provide quality seating for 480 in a single space preserving assembly sightlines and as much of our ”up-close and in the round” feel as possible;
• to re-work the front offices so all staff are settled in permanent offices that are outfitted with all the "modern amenities" of life: heat in the winter and cooling in the summer, personal security, and appropriate confidentiality;
• to reclaim a section of the ground floor taken up now with the music and campus ministry offices and overflow seating for Sunday Mass, and return it into a first-floor gathering space for weekend worship and a student lounge during the week;
• to address maintenance needs to bring the building up to health and accessibility codes (asbestos, HVAC, 1^st-floor bathroom, etc.);
• to freshen our worship space aesthetically and liturgically that we might celebrate the liturgy in a setting that was only imperfectly envisioned when the space was originally designed in the early 1960’s;
• to give the lower level hall and kitchen a makeover and update.

As of the summer of 2011 we have accomplished most of the top five bulleted items, and are gearing up for the last one.  When that is accomplsihed we will return to the Chapel space and finish our work by replacing our homemade ambo, our altar (damaged in a fire in the 1980's), a baptismal font, and a truly worthy crucifix.  We hope to have all of that work done by the start of 2012.
