Located just north of the Robertson Library building, the Chaplaincy Centre houses the Chaplains’ offices, a worship area and meditation chapel and provides a location to meet, socialize, pray and hold religious services.

Two Chaplains provide a Christian presence supportive of students, faculty, administration and staff. They offer counselling, opportunities for inquiry into the Christian faith and programs designed to enhance social, intellectual and personal growth.  Regular opportunities for worship are available and other faiths are also welcome to use the Centre for appropriate activities.

It was built in 1965 as St. Dunstan’s Student Union Coffee Shop and served the Student Union for several years until they moved to “The Barn” in 1971.
