All Saints' Chapel, located at the center of the campus, offers students a variety of programs for exploring religious faith and serving others. The Chapel also serves as our formal gathering space for Convocations, Commencement and other celebrations. Being centrally located is not coincidental, but an expression of Sewanee's identity as an Episcopal university.
The existing structure (1905; 1957; 2004) replaced the early wood building near its present site. It was left incomplete in 1907 and finished over 50 years later. Memorials to alumni, professors, residents, and benefactors are found throughout the building. Shapard Tower, given by the family of Robert P. Shapard, contains a carillon donated in memory of Leonidas Polk, Bishop of Louisiana, by his descendant W. Dudley Gale.
