The ornate exterior of the Chapel had eroded due to
excessive weathering. Old World Stone took upon the
task of reproducing over 200 pinnacles and finials based
on original samples and drawings. Replacement stones
for the profiled band course were also supplied in Indiana
buff limestone.
Installation of the stones was completed in the summer
of 2001. In addition to the exterior restoration, the
University complied with current accessibility standards
by incorporating a barrier-free ramp. Indiana buff copings
and random cut ashlar, along with flamed granite pavers
and steps were supplied to match the existing staircases.
