Baughman Center - Lake Alice Morning
This is the Baughman Center, a place of private meditation and public celebration. An intimate shelter that is available to all members and friends of the university community. The Center has 96-seats of which the 2,000-square-foot structure incorporates gothic-influenced design and strategic placement with environmentally appropriate materials.
The Baughman Center is open for private contemplation on weekdays. On weekends, it often hosts private events such as weddings and memorial services.
The exterior walls are made of natural Florida cypress stained to reflect its natural surroundings and grooved vertically to represent individual tree trunks.
The roof system is fabricated of tongue-and-groove yellow pine and copper to reflect the ancient materials of medieval cathedrals. The front door is reminiscent of ancient gothic doorways and is comprised of maple with inlaid gothic patterns in cherry and an ornamental architrave of crenellated mahogany.
The interior materials are painted structural steel and stained southern yellow pine planking. The pavilion is oriented so that the dominant axis coincides with sunrise and sunset at the summer solstice.
The building’s cross-section is reminiscent of ancient basilican cathedrals, complete with three aisles and a sloping roof. The floor is made of three shades of travertine marble arranged in a geometric pattern based on the building’s structure, a device reminiscent of the ancient cathedrals after which it was patterned.
