Administrative History:
The Helen Eakin Eisenhower Chapel is an all-faith facility supporting the diverse beliefs of Penn State faculty and students. Construction on the original building was begun in 1955, with the cornerstone laid by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Designed by architects Harbeson, Hough, Livingston and Larson, it was constructed of red brick and limestone in a Modified Georgian style.
The Chapel complex includes a Meditation Chapel, a Roman Catholic Meditation Chapel, lounge areas, meeting rooms, and offices, and houses the Office of Religious Affairs. All segments of the building were privately funded through gifts and donations.
