Nestled in the woods on Colgate University’s campus, Chapel House provides a peaceful setting for reflection, meditation and study, surrounded by trails and a Japanese garden. The 1959 building, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, reflects international-style modernism. Visitors can explore its Meditation Hall and collections of books, music and art from diverse spiritual traditions. Visit colgate.edu/chapelhouse for open hours, program schedule and other details.
