For well over a century, St. Sebastian’s College of Moratuwa, stood as an epitome and a forerunner of education in the region, as well as an institution that could boast of architecture that reminisce buildings of colonial period. The Chapel and Resource Centre building was undertaken as the final phase of the recent re-development project of the college. The new building which houses the Administration Centre of the college together with the chapel above creates the blend of authority and spirituality. The design concept emphasises on a revival of conservative architectural traditions as part of the present. It re-captures the essence of the iconic architectural characters of the old colonial institutional buildings and re-interprets it in a simpler form to suit contemporary needs.
