Blue Chapel, Gothic church building at Fordham University, New York, United States
The Blue Chapel occupies the third floor of Keating Hall on Fordham University's Rose Hill campus, featuring high ceilings and traditional Gothic architectural elements.
The chapel opened in 1937 as a memorial to Dolores Colkin and underwent a major restoration in 2007 that returned many original design elements to their former state.
The chapel maintains a regular schedule of Catholic services and serves as a spiritual center for students and faculty members of Fordham University throughout the academic year.
Visitors can access the Blue Chapel through Keating Hall during standard university hours, with the illuminated stained glass window visible from Edwards Parade in the evening.
The chapel's altarpiece, made from hand-hammered Swedish steel and draped with blue damask fabric, creates a distinctive focal point within the religious space.
