Services run in the Chapel at times during the year. Residents are welcome to use the Chapel for a place of contemplation, music practices, and groups may use the Chapel as a place to run a discussion group. At times, groups from the wider North Dunedin community use the Chapel.
Wireless internet is available throughout the College. There is a computer room on the ground floor of the Macalister Wing available to residents.
