Camp Geiger Chapel

Client Camp Lejeune
Architect Cape Fear Engineering
Location Jacksonville, NC

New construction of an approximately 7000 sq ft chapel for the Marines at Camp Geiger located on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The new Chapel will be one story with a second floor mezzanine that is a steel and wood truss structure.  The chapel design includes T and G ceilings, and wood wrapped columns. The chapel will have a sound booth area, fellowship rooms as well as a sacristy room.  To retrieve some of the historical context of the old chapel, we will be refinishing existing pews and providing new kneelers. The exterior will be a brick veneer with fiber cement finishes and walkway ramps on North/South/East/West sides. The chapel also includes an all-aluminum cupola.
