Roanoke College’s chapel underwent something of a makeover this spring. The chapel boasts new doors and a redesigned stairway. The doors, handmade in Kentucky, feature beautiful custom leaded and beveled glass and are constructed of solid red oak.

The stairway, which is wider and opens directly onto the High Street sidewalk, was constructed by Roanoke staff members and is a gift of the class of 2010. Bob Shupe, who works on all the College’s signature brick walkways, provided the leadership for the new stairway.

Built in 1970, the chapel was a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. A. Blair Antrim in memory of their son Charles Massie Antrim, a 1961 Roanoke College graduate.
