The Chapel of the Holy Innocents overlooks the Anna Jones Memorial Meditation Garden. The Chapel is part of John Bard's original donation to the College of "about 7 acres, together with the buildings thereon." The original Chapel was built in 1857 with local oak and stone from quarries across the Hudson River. It was rebuilt in 1859 after the original building was destroyed by fire.

Bard Student Services, overseen by the Dean of Student Affairs Office, is concerned with the quality of college life. Through these services Bard seeks to enhance the value of the undergraduate experience by encouraging students to participate actively in their community and support the development and pursuits of the student body.

The Dean of Student Affairs Office strives to promote an atmosphere wherein students can develop an idea of themselves as academics and individuals. In service to that goal, it works to protect the campus environment and encourage the students' exploration of intellectual, artistic, and ethical interests. The dean's office serves as an information service for nonacademic matters and tries to accommodate individual circumstances to ensure that all students are successful in their adjustment to college life.
