The Wallace All Faiths Chapel
Serving as the primary area for worship activities on campus, the four-level chapel is bathed in natural sunlight and its ceiling appears to float, creating an impression of the infinite.
Prayer and meditation room
Tucked away in a concealed hallway to the side of the main chapel, the prayer and meditation room offers a serene escape for meditation, prayer, or a quiet reflection away from daily school life.
Dee's Garden of the Senses
True to its name, Dee's Garden of the Senses caters to every sense, serving as a soothing refuge for students, particularly during the stressful periods of midterms and finals.
Peterson Conference Room
The Peterson Conference Room doubles as a private area for meetings and houses the center’s reference library for campus religious groups to use. It also showcases a painting by Carlson Gladson and a section of the Ocean Wave Sculpture.
