Hanawalt designed student art gallery beneath St.Pauls Chapel, Columbia University, NYC.  The ceiling of the gallery is comprised of (4) vaults of Guastavino Tile construction to a center column.  The building and space are on the National Historic Registry.  One challenge was to create the space with only with no historic changes, yet not invoke union labor requirements for movable display.  We tread that fine line using masonry grout screws and aircraft cable to fasten display walls to conceal backlighting.  Project conceived, orchestrated and constructed by Debra Laefer and her team of dedicated undergraduate girls.
