Chapel Ferrum Training School

Those familiar with campus now note that this building is no longer the Chapel. Schoolfield Hall, originally Schoolfield Memorial Chapel and named for a generous donor, Mr. R.A. Schoolfield, was built in 1924. During the 1930s it was very much operating as the Chapel for the Junior College. Now it functions as a performing arts center, the facility includes the Sale Auditorium, a separate flexible theater, and the College Theatre Arts department.
