Text description provided by the architects. The Chapel of St. Ignatius and Gayle and Tom Benson Jesuit Center, located on Loyola University New Orleans' historic quad, provides a place for spiritual contemplation and an inspiring space for campus gathering. The building's simple cylindrical form, composed of textured, hand-made brick, harmonizes with the surrounding Tudor-Gothic buildings on campus while maintaining its own distinctive contemporary character. The chapel's solid exterior evokes permanence and stability that reflects the surrounding campus.
