5850 South Woodlawn Avenue Chicago, IL 60637
Seated: 1,500
With a seating capacity of more than 1,500, this is a majestic chapel of the kind found at many of the world’s greatest universities: a gathering place for academic ceremonies and for a wide variety of events. It has been open to all for over 90 years, taking on a different character each day of the week and each week of the year. Major public lectures, Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols, special choral Shabbat services, Easter with brass and the masterwork E.M. Skinner pipe organ, the interfaith Thanksgiving service, and the University's annual Martin Luther King Day celebration fill our space to the proverbial rafters.
