ago, when he was dealing with health
problems. "We experienced tremen
dous support from family and friends
at that time and made the commitment
to fund the chapel in the future,” he
said. "We’re happy we could honor
our commitment."
A statement developed by faculty,
staff, and students calls for the
chapel’s design to "inspire reverence,
awe, contemplation, and peace."
Early plans envision the chapel with
not only a flexible worship space but
also rooms for receptions, small gath

play both sacred and secular music.
On July 13 Penn State's Board of
Trustees approved Noelker and Hull
Associates, Inc. as the architectural
