Although the chapel was designed to be used as a Christian Chapel, many have used it from a variety of faiths. Faith itself played a key role in the founding of Drake University. Drake's Bible College was well-known with its affiliation with the Disciples of Christ Church. The construction of Oreon E. Scott Chapel and [[Medbury Hall|Charles Medbury Hall]] began in December of 1953. The Chapel was then completed on January 20, 1955 and dedicated on November 8 of that same year. During this period of construction [http://ddr.lib.drake.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=%2Fyearbooks&CISOPTR=10794&REC=1&CISOBOX=McCaw Dean McCaw], head of the bible college, sought to enhance the building and use it to its full potential. It cost a grand total of 40,000 dollars and stands at a height of 14 feet with a diameter of 32 feet. [3]

Scott was a life member of the Drake board of trustees along with being a leading layman among the Disciples of Christ Church. In the year 1933, he received a Doctor of Laws Honorary Degree as well as created a scholarship fund, a book fund, and a senior award helping to provide many students with the opportunity to experience Drake University for themselves.

+Even though the exterior of the Chapel might look a little peculiar at first glance, once one knows the meaning behind it, it is not so bizarre. The shape of the building, a circle, stands for equality, the close-binding fellowship of humanity, and eternity. Many early Christian churches were built this way in order to show the different meaning it contains. It also is built out of brick, which is a distinction between the chapel and the surrounding buildings because the buildings in the vicinity are all made from glass. Oreon E. Scott Chapel also includes a skylight. [4] On top of this skylight is a sphere in the center of a bronze crown with a cross above the sphere. The sphere itself represents the world and the multiple things surrounding it. [2]
