UNM Alumni Relations office proposed the idea of a

memorial chapel in 1944 and raised funds through 1959.

Architect John Gaw Meem drew the original plans.

The Chapel opened in 1962 as a memorial to alumni who

gave their lives in our nation’s wars. The Chapel’s simple

elegance complements any occasion, public or personal.

In keeping with the Chapel’s Franciscan Mission

architecture, the design for the Chapel Garden extends

the spiritual space within the Chapel to the surrounding

outside area. The Garden’s comprehensive design plan

includes provisions for a rose garden, gathering space,

seating, shade, a fountain and lighting.

The centerpiece of the Garden will be the

Celebration Wall, adorned with tiles of photographs of

alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends. The Celebration

Wall will serve the university community’s spirit and

provide a historic record of the many celebrations,

memorials, and important events held at the Chapel.
