Thorneloe University has the only free-standing chapel on the Laurentian campus. Built in 1968 as memorial to George Parker Fielding and Agnes Ceasar Fielding, the chapel comprises a series of progressively larger triangular walls forming a rising spirit that culminates over the altar. The quiet interior is adorned with several unique icons, all created by Canadian iconologist Michael O'Brien of Ottawa.

 

From September to April, the chapel provides a worship service in the Anglican tradition Sundays at 7:00 p.m. The chapel is also used for weddings, baptisms, and memorials for faculty, staff, and students of Laurentian University. People of all faiths are welcome to use this quiet, holy space.

 

The chapel underwent extensive renovations during the summer of 2011, to improve accessibility and to enhance its use as a learning space. The Chapel was officially reopened on Wednesday, October 12, 2011 by the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, former Governor General of Canada.
