OhioHealth Bing Cancer Center Meditation Room is Completed

Rogers Krajnak Architects designed the new Bing Cancer Center Meditation Room as part of a building-wide renovation. This is the eighth chapel/meditation space that Rogers Krajnak Architects has designed for OhioHealth over the last five years. Visitors to the Bing Cancer Center enter the Meditation Room between two curved translucent walls that contain images of caregivers integrated with images of worship and prayer from five major religions of the world. The largest image is that of a cairn, a stack of stones that symbolizes a marker on the path towards healing. Special shelves were installed in the space to allow visitors to leave a place polished pebble as a symbol of their prayers for their loved ones.
