In observance of the instructions handed down by its patron John D. Rockefeller, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel is the tallest building on the campus.  

Designed by architect Bertram Goodhue between 1918 and 1924, and built between 1925 and 1928 without the use of structural steel, it contains about 70 integrated figural sculptures and a 72-bell carillon. Today the chapel is used for ecumenical worship services, weddings, guest speakers, musical programs and occasional film screenings.  It occupies a full block and can seat 1700 people.
