Windhover Contemplation Center

Project Description

The Windhover Contemplative Center is a proposed new facility that will display Nathan Oliveira’s widely regarded and meditative Windhover series. Using art as its vehicle, the Center will provide a refuge from the daily intensity of one of the world’s finest universities, especially for the students. The environment of the Windhover Contemplative Center will be appreciated not just for what one sees but also how one feels—how this experience contributes to one’s overall well-being. The Center will be a sanctuary—a place to re-establish balance and find tranquility.

The new building will include exhibit space, an entry/reception area, mechanical space, rest rooms and an outdoor gathering area.

The site is located west of the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden on the corner of Lomita and San Teresa Street.
