Tour Three: The Administrative Offices Wing

Beginning your tour in The Fashionables Courtyard and walking west, you observe the details of artist Susan Narduli’s Sacred Mound Garden – variegated grasses, small stones and large boulders, and specialized lighting fixtures tucked away in the earth.

Entering the multi-paned doors of the Administrative Office Wing, you are greeted by additional works of art by William Tunberg – the Ten Paths Sculpture, the Ocean Wave Sculpture, and matching maple benches and entry table. “Ten Paths” interweaves symbols from ten religious traditions, and the “Ocean Wave” gallery flowing down the hallway exhibits photographs of recent or upcoming events at the Fish Interfaith Center. All of these pieces employ the technique of marquetry (inlaid wood). Across from the reception desk is the Peterson Conference Room.

In addition to serving as the site for numerous meetings, this room contains the center’s reference library for use by campus religious groups, and contains a painting by Carlson Gladson and a portion of the Ocean Wave Sculpture. The administrative office wing houses the offices for the Dean of the Wallace All Faiths Chapel and the Church Relations Department.
