Rivier University Resurrection Chapel

Rivier University was in the midst of renovations to Resurrection Chapel when we were asked to address the quad area in front of the chapel.

Derck & Edson created a coordinated design focused on the new chapel, using a plaza and pedestrian access points as a focal point. The design created a new, appropriately-scaled plaza area for new front façade of the chapel.

The site plan shows the Chapel, quad, and related circulation and gathering spaces while photos of completed construction highlight the Chapel with new entry and, to the left, the relocated historic Rivier gateway.

From Sister Paula Marie Buley, IHM ~ President, Rivier University

“Derck & Edson’s thoughtful and graphically engaging presentation materials and the quality of their engagement with board members, faculty, administration, staff and students immediately inspired confidence and that sought-after quality of a designer who not only works with a client but also thinks with a client.”
