Pam: a lot of stake centers are just old chapels that have been designated as stake centers. I think very rarely does the church invest in building a new chapel specifically as a stake center when a new stake is formed. I think when they organize a stake they choose which existing building will be the stake center based on features such as a stage or the size of the gym (for stake conferences).

Have to disagree. Here in Utah, there are chapels built specifically for stake centers. They are larger, have stages, etc. Maybe not immediately but they are built. Maybe in other areas that is different. When I lived in San Diego....chapels were also built specifically to be stake centers.
