The Chapel + Cultural Center (C+CC) was conceived as a functional multi-purpose facility, drawing together the sacred and the secular, religious services and performing and visual arts, educational and social events.
The C+CC is the regular home to the University Parish of Christ Sun of Justice, which is the center of the Roman Catholic Community at RPI. People of all faiths, however, are welcomed and frequently use the C+CC for services.
Our unique building won awards and national recognition when it was erected in 1969 for its aesthetic and functional architecture. In 2011 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the “youngest” building to be so recognized.
Our building features:
- A flexible multi-purpose auditorium/chapel seating up to 200
- A lounge / meeting space for up to 30
- A state-of-the-art 10K Lumen laser cinema projection system with a 25 foot screen
- Outdoor terrace spaces
- Video live-streaming
Our space is available to RPI students, faculty and staff, as well as the wider Troy community.
