Building Feature

Originally called the Christian Association Building, Steiner housed student service associations (YMCA and YWCA). Steiner is now home to seminar classrooms and houses the religious studies, philosophy, and education departments.

Fun Fact

The architect had planned a passageway or cloister to connect the building with Herrick Chapel, which is just north of Steiner, but the feature was eliminated during the building process due to lack of funds.
