St. Nicholas National Shrine
Originally a humble church serving Greek immigrants, St. Nicholas was the only religious institution destroyed in the attacks. After a 21-year journey to rebuild, the Shrine now stands as a sanctuary for reflection and hope, with its white dome inviting visitors from around the world to connect with a universal story of perseverance through adversity.

To share the Shrine’s rich history and intricate iconography without disrupting the space, G&A developed an innovative mobile app that offers an immersive, guided tour. This app provides users with a unique experience, blending photogrammetry and high-resolution visuals to make the story of the church accessible both onsite and remotely.
Through this seamless digital interface, the Shrine’s narrative unfolds, guided by narration from George Stephanopoulos, while the donor recognition program highlights inspiring stories of compassion and tolerance. By merging technology with heritage, the project brings the spirit of St. Nicholas to all, reinforcing its mission as a place for reflection and unity.
