The Chapel

Housed in the spectacular Founder’s Building and completed in 1886, our beautiful non-denominational gilded chapel includes bas-reliefs by Ceccardo Fucigna and a fine three-manual organ. The amazing acoustics in the chapel will wow your guests and create a unique sense of occasion.

 

Currently, only alumni, current students, staff and children of current long-standing staff may hold their wedding ceremony in the chapel.  Please contact the chaplaincy for details of whether we can accommodate your wedding date.
