The Class of 1959 Chapel, Non-denominational chapel at Harvard Business School in Cambridge, United States.
The Class of 1959 Chapel features a cylindrical copper structure with a pyramidal glass greenhouse and a rectangular marble tower with a bronze sundial.
Completed in 1992, the chapel was funded by Harvard Business School alumni from the Class of 1959 during their 25th and 30th reunion campaigns.
The sanctuary serves multiple functions as a space for private meditation, ceremonies, and musical performances in a circular room without a dominant axis.
The chapel accommodates 100 people and received LEED Gold Certification in 2011 following improvements in energy and water consumption efficiency.
Prisms mounted in the ceiling create spectrums of colored light that move across the concrete walls as sunlight passes through the day.

This collection brings together major works by architect Moshe Safdie, whose practice is distinguished by particular attention to natural light, outdoor spaces, and the integration of buildings into their surroundings. From Montreal to Singapore, through Jerusalem and several American cities, his projects demonstrate an approach that seeks to reconcile contemporary needs with respect for local contexts. Among the featured works are Habitat 67 in Montreal, an experimental residential complex composed of stacked concrete modules offering each unit its own terrace, and the Marina Bay Sands complex in Singapore with its three towers connected by a 340-meter terrace. The collection also includes several museums such as the Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Other projects like the Salt Lake City Public Library, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, or the Khalsa Heritage Memorial Complex in India illustrate the diversity of architectural programs entrusted to Safdie throughout his career.
