St. Lawrence Newman Center - Social Hall Room Update
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Interior Refresh
Working with Brother Matthew Warnez, B.H. Director of Campus Ministry, I assisted the St. Lawrence Catholic Church and Newman Center at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities to refresh their social hall. This was needed because Catholic Students United (CSU) planned to begin using the space for their weekly student group gathering, known as Gopher Catholic Night, for the 2021-2022 school year. Working with Br. Matthew I assisted with interior design options as well as the selection of products to enhance the space. I also helped the church coordinate volunteers to help oversee a smooth project for the church in a timely manner. The refresh included maroon & gold columns, a new stage curtain, repainted walls, and ceiling string lights to round out the design.
