| The Olson Campus Center is the newest building on campus. It
was built in 1982, after Luther Seminary and Northwestern
Seminary were merged. (About the time of the LBW-the green
hymnal). To honor both seminaries and help visually merge the 2
schools and traditions, this building was designed to house
“common ground”—Chapel, Dining Rooms, Board Room and Bookstore—large enough for all. It was placed half-way
between the two campuses. Three houses were moved to other parts
of the campus in order to build here. The art work in the building rotates and changes but always
reminds all of us here that people come here to learn about God
and go some place else to tell that story. Each culture tells
that story in different ways visually and we can all learn from
each other.
This is the Chapel of the Incarnation—the largest space on
campus. It seats 600+ and is used for daily worship. It also can
be used as a classroom, a lecture hall, theatre space, concert
hall or rental space for weddings, etc. The art work changes for
each liturgical season.
The Bookstore is downstairs and open to all!! It is
considered the best theological bookstore in North America. Many
people from many faiths come here to shop.
