Fargo, North Dakota (2006 – 2008) (visit)
in association with Zerr Berg Associates, Fargo ND
Bishop Aquila requested LITURGICAL ENVIRONS to propose designs for the liturgical reordering of the Cathedral of St. Mary in Fargo.
What began as the need to relocate the tabernacle from the side altar to a place of prominence in the sanctuary has given rise to the opportunity to provide better access, a more dignified sanctuary, a new canopy for the cathedra, and a new ambo and lectern.
Design elements from the original 1890s balcony rail were incorporated into the edge wall at the sanctuary to create a more unified sense to the whole space.
The project was completed on time and on budget in Spring 2008.
