St Albert's Catholic Chaplaincy, Edinburgh, Catholic church building in George Square, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
St Albert's Catholic Chaplaincy is a church building located on the University of Edinburgh campus in George Square, featuring contemporary architectural elements. A large window positioned behind the altar opens to views of the surrounding garden.
The building originated as a Georgian structure in 1766 and came under Dominican care in 1931 when the order established the chaplaincy for university students. A 2012 extension represents a significant moment for the Dominican presence in Scotland since the 16th century Reformation.
The chaplaincy serves as a gathering place for Catholic students and staff at the University of Edinburgh, fostering community through regular worship and shared activities. It plays an important role in student life on campus.
The chapel is open for worship during the academic year with services held on weekdays and weekends. Access may vary depending on university schedules and special events on the campus.
The 2012 chapel extension was the first Dominican chapel construction project in Scotland in centuries, marking an unexpected continuation of this religious community. This modern addition demonstrates how longstanding institutions adapt within contemporary university life.
