History:

When Fairmount College became the University of Wichita, a common objective was construction of a nonsectarian chapel to serve the university community and represent a tie to the institution's beginning as a Congregational college. That goal was accomplished in 1963 when Mrs. Harvey D. Grace provided funds for the facility as a memorial to her husband. The building was designed to reflect Mr. Grace's heritage in the rural churches of Denmark with their thatched roofs. It contains an excellent organ used by music students for both practice and recitals.
