Chaucer Center Chapel
Houston, TX (1988)

This chapel in a student center near Rice University was designed around a stained glass altarpiece by Frederick Cole inspired by the Marian window in Chartres, France... a few of the elements [floor tiles and doors] were designed to reflect the early Mexican influence in this part of Texas. Altars are of limestone and marble; the 4-paneled folding doors which hide the tabernacle during Mass contain paintings depicting the four Evangelists.
