The former Unitarian Church, now called the Channing-Murray Foundation but still a church, at 1209 West Oregon Street in Urbana, Illinois, is the Unitarian-Universalist Campus Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It includes a chapel and a vegetarian restaurant, "The Red Herring". The Foundation was established in 1954 as a merger of the Murray Club of the Universalist Church in Urbana, and the Young People's Club or Unity Club of the Unitarian Church. The building was constructed in 1908 as the Unitarian Chapel[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
