The Jubilee Church, designed by Richard Meyer Associates, has officially opened in Rome. The landmark building will serve as a model for church design. Jubilee Church is the third church building designed by Meyer, the first two being Crystal Cathedral in California (2003) and Hartford Seminary in Connecticut (1981). The church site is located six miles from the center of Rome, near an area of low- and middle-income residential buildings constructed in the 1970s, as well as a public garden. The 108,414-square-foot church building includes the chapel and the community center, which are connected by a four-story atrium. Building materials include concrete, travertine and glass.
