This project is located between two existing structures, Grace Cathedral and The Cathedral School. It focuses on creating an urban infill space that would give the church and school a community center. 
Visitors can either enter from level one, which is located in an existing above-ground school courtyard, or from the basement level that connects with the existing school basement. The basement level gymnasium functions as a gym but also a presentation hall. From this room, which is located in the basement, one can look up to see ramps and cantilevered galleries. The building also acts as a place of activity with its green roof where people can sit out or children can play.
