Just completed, the new Ark sanctuary is a lovely, minimalist space designed by recognized architect Ray Kinoshita who is on the faculty at the University of Massachusetts. Featuring Brazilian cherry floors, a handsome fireplace, and sophisticated audiovisual technology, it is used for worship, musical performances, art exhibits, lectures, classes, and social gatherings. Aware of the importance of “human scale,” Kinoshita has created a space which is elegant and comfortable, and whose flexibility allows it to host a variety of events of from ten to a hundred people.
