Built in 1919 and renovated in 1993, the 1,206-seat Lawrence Memorial Chapel is used for public events such as the Lawrence Artist and Jazz series, ensemble concerts, public meetings, and the university convocation series. In recent years, the chapel has been host to such performing artists as the Prague Chamber Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma, the Jazz Messengers, and Chick Corea. The chapel features a magnificent forty-one-stop mechanical-action organ built by John Brombaugh of Eugene, Oregon.
