hanrahan Meyers architects (hMa) are pleased to announce that Infinity Chapel is opening to the general public on June 30, 2010. Infinity Chapel is designed around mathematical ideas based on hyper-cubes and infinity.
The Chapel uses shaped walls, and openings based on precise mathematical forms: squares; golden section rectangles, and lines - to create a unique spiritual environment within the chapel: a perfect cube. Articulated lines, squares, and shaped apertures flood light into the Chapel from each of the cardinal directions. The mathematically precise apertures bring formally articulated areas of light into the Chapel sanctuary. The combination of curves and light create a symphony of form and light.

Located at 171 MacDougal Street, Infinity Chapel will be open to the General Public after June 30, 2010. The congregation welcomes visitors to the Chapel. To tour the Chapel, visitors would check in with the librarian at the Christian Science Reading Room, located in front of the Chapel, facing MacDougal Street.
The Chapel is visible from MacDougal Street. The front facade of the building is glass, looking into the Christian Science Reading Room. Beyond the Reading Room, separated by a floor to ceiling glass wall, is Infinity Chapel. Beyond Infinity Chapel, separated by a third glass plane, is an outdoor Chapel.
