Our Lady of Montserrat Chapel serves as a sacred, contemplative space on the campus of a Jesuit college preparatory school in Seattle, Washington. The new chapel supports the mission of the school and reflects the traditions and history of the Jesuit order. Inspired by the ruins of 17th-century South American missions, the design blends the strength and permanence of stone with the warmth and simplicity of wood in modern Pacific Northwest architecture to create an open and inviting space. Although only a modest 1,600 square feet, the chapel has transformed the character of the school for students, faculty, staff, and the community at large by creating a spiritual heart for the campus.
