The first free-standing chapel in the college’s 88 year history, this signature building embodies the spiritual support that is the foundation of Providence College, the nation’s only college or university operated by the Dominican Order.

The chapel’s design encompasses this spirit and we were honored to participate in bringing this symbol of faith to fruition.
