About The Chapel

Built in 1904 in the Norman revival style, the Vassar Chapel is the largest assembly space on campus with seating for 1,400. As such, it is the venue for many traditional annual events, such as Convocation, and for visiting lecturers and performers who are likely to draw a large crowd.
