Baughman Center, Contemplation pavilion at University of Florida, United States
The Baughman Center features floor-to-ceiling windows, natural Florida cypress walls, and a copper roof that spans 1,500 square feet along Lake Alice.
The center opened in 2000 following a $1 million donation from George and Hazel Baughman to establish a meditation space on the university grounds.
The nondenominational chapel accommodates 96 people for meditation sessions, musical performances, weddings, and memorial services throughout the year.
The center operates Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM, excluding holidays and home football games.
The building aligns with the summer solstice sunrise and sunset, incorporating three shades of travertine marble arranged in geometric floor patterns.
