Space for Prayer and Meditation

SAIC has a dedicated space on-campus to accommodate the spiritual practices of our community. The Mediation Room is located in the MacLean Center at 112 South Michigan Avenue, room B-1-04.

The interfaith space is intended for all members of the SAIC community to use for quiet reflection, meditation, or prayer. Campus Life welcomes all to use the room for this purpose.

Those who need a space for prayer and meditation can also request to use the Movement Room. The Movement Room is located on the 13th floor of the MacLean Center, 112 South Michigan Avenue. If you'd like to reserve this space, please contact Multicultural Affairs at multicultural_affairs@saic.edu.

There is no reservation system for the room and members of the SAIC community may use the space at-will, while being respectful of each other and everyone using the space. If you have any questions about the space, please feel free to contact Multicultural Affairs at multicultural_affairs@saic.edu or 312.629.6880.
