The UMass Amherst Old Chapel Video Wall is a visually immersive and
interactive experience that is designed to inspire interest, curiosity
and ultimately a sense of pride for all who enter the building.
Students, faculty and staff, alumni, and community members are able
to serendipitously explore and learn more around a variety of subjects
including but not limited to UMass history, buildings and architecture
on campus, art and artifact collections, current news stories about
the University and the work of faculty, students, and alumni.
