The Levy Center is a Jewish Chapel located at the U.S. Naval Academy. The architects were commissioned to design a small but heavily detailed religious space that provides a direct link to the Hebrew homeland of Israel. There was little hesitation by the designers in determining that the most appropriate material for the link was natural stone, and specifically that of which most of Israel is built, Jerusalem Stone. To strongly emphasize the link to Jerusalem, the design team provided as the primary focus of the project a 1,500sf, scaled-down replica of the Western (Wailing) Wall.
