Facilities

ULC has great facilities for you to use as a student or member. In addition to the chapel itself, there are plenty of quite places to study or pray during the week. We also have a game/rec room with foosball, ping-pong, and other parlour games for when you are looking for a little fun. And there is the newly renovated Löhe library and lounge where you can find books for indepth study on just about any theological subject, or can just hang out and have a cup of good coffee with other ULCers, or relax in a cozy chair by the fire. We hope you'll take adavantage of all ULC has to offer and will make the Chapel your home base here at the U of M.
