college chapel

University worship space

A college chapel is a place of worship on a college or university campus, often a prominent architectural feature even at secular institutions.

Some colleges require chapel attendance; at others, the chapel serves ceremonial functions—convocations, weddings, memorial services—alongside or instead of religious ones.

The college chapel hosts weekly vespers and the annual baccalaureate service.
