Jesuit High School Phelan Chapel of the North American Martyrs
Located in Sacramento CA
The Jesuit High School Campus incorporated architectural elements characterized by strong geometry, enduring materials, and lofty ceilings to evoke a sense of spirituality and symbolize transition to a sacred space.
West Coast Window Consultants provided the EFCO aluminum curtain wall system and design assistance for the complicated installation which includes exterior mounted mid span anchors and removable interior colored glass panels. Construction of the Jesuit High School Chapel was completed in 2014.
Carefully crafted to reflect a harmonious blend of spiritual reverence and modern aesthetics, the architecture inspires contemplation and serenity.
