St. Chad College was established in Regina in 1907 for the training of divinity students. It amalgamated with Emmanuel College and moved to the Saskatoon campus in 1964. The Chapel of St. Chad was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott of Saskatoon and constructed in 1965 and 1966. Located between Emmanuel College and Rugby Chapel near the Wiggins Street entrance, the stone clad structure's dominant feature is its souring roof line.

In 2004, Emmanuel and St. Chad faced a financial crisis. Its three buildings were sold to the University for $1.1 million, and the college moved into leased space in the Lutheran Seminary building in 2005. The chapel served as an Anglican church until it was deconsecrated on June 14, 2006, along with the neighbouring Rugby Chapel. It is now being renovated to become the Graduate Students Association Commons.
