Baughman Center at Lake Alice

On the Road 1 Minute

Baughman Center is one of the most stunning images on the University of Florida campus. Rising from the shore of Lake Alice, its architecture leaps skyward with the natural geometry articulated so well by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Today the chapel in the Baughman Center is open weekdays for meditation and personal contemplation. It is frequently used for weddings and memorial services.

Jim and I spent some time this morning walking around the chapel here on the lake.
