Oblates of Mary Immaculate Seminary
South Natick, MA (1965)

The chapel was conceived as a large dormer roof in three bays. The dormer motif of the old building behind was carried into the dormer chapel form... the slate roof is supported by intersecting laminated wood arches and the resultant vertical wall spaces were filled with abstract stained glass windows...the twin truncated buttresses contain mechanical ducts... the simplicity of the main residence hall building and the Aula wing serve as a contrasting background to the richness of the triangulated chapel forms.
