St. Pascal Baylon Catholic Church

The renovation and enhancement of St. Pascal Baylon Catholic Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota introduces mass timber as a key architectural and structural element into the church. The design emphasizes open, flexible interior areas that include areas like large group assembly, smaller meeting spaces, and community focused programming. 
Throughout the building there is exposed Douglas Fir glulam being used as the primary structural system, bringing natural texture and creating wide, column free spaces for large gatherings.
