The need for more columbarium niches generates the expansion of the existing two-story Crypt 3 building. A new two-story Annex wraps around three sides of the existing building. The Annex consists of a corridor that is loaded on its two sides with five levels of niches, organized along a series of arched frames. Generously repeating windows bring natural daylight and ventilation into the Annex, and indirectly into the original Crypt 3 building. A palette of white precast arches and dark stone niche covers fosters an environment of Franciscan simplicity.
