(No. #32). The chapel was patterned after the Chapel at Rugby School in England. Its pews face the center aisle, and it is considered an excellent example of the collegiate chapel style. It also features a large rood cross made by students in the school's wood shop.

It was designed by Reginald Johnson, the son of the first Episcopal bishop of Los Angeles.] When the campus moved to its present Studio City location in 1937, the chapel was divided into sixteen pieces and moved to the new campus through Sepulveda Pass via Sepulveda Boulevard.
