塞克斯教堂及信仰与价值观中心坐落于弗罗里达州坦帕大学，强调的是特征、价值观、精神发展、以及世界人民对全球各大宗教的教义理解。教堂占地12,750平方英尺，未来还将建造60贝尔的音乐雕塑钟楼，届时，坦帕大学的中心校区将成为一个四方形广场，可以举办各类活动。

教堂的外观设计突出显示了其对学生个性和个人价值观发展的重视。主墙体由叠层木材建造，向上高耸，并内扣成杯状，看上去如同正在祷告的双手。教堂的布局以黄金分割点为基础。几何学上的和谐在很多文化和宗教中都被视为神圣的体现。教堂内的游行顺序设置清晰直观。各种建筑元素实现了光与影之间天马行空的交织画面。此外，教堂播放的音乐也体现和谐之美。在这里可以进行礼拜，举行聚会，组织演出等，功能多样。教堂西端是崭新的管风琴，黑樱桃木纯手工制作，高45英尺，3184根琴管。

教堂还有各种冥想室、花园、以及会议室，空间充足，适合各类活动的举办。

The Sykes Chapel and Center for Faith and Values is a gracious acknowledgment of the emphasis on character, values, spiritual development and global religious understanding for all of the world’s religions at the University of Tampa in Florida. The new 12,750 sf chapel, and future 60 bell musical sculpture bell tower, will transform the university’s central campus by defining a quadrangle plaza suitable for a wide range of events.

The chapel form is highly evocative of its mission to allow students to develop their personal character and individual values. The main walls of laminated timbers soar upwards, cupping inwards to suggest hands in prayer. The layout of the chapel is based on the Golden Section,a geometric harmony considered sacred in many cultures and religions. The processional sequence through the chapel is clear and direct, and is composed of architectural elements that create whimsical play between shadow and light. The acoustically balanced chapel provides flexible space for worship, assembly and performance. A new organ, handcrafted of black cherry wood, and standing 45 feet tall with 3,184 pipes will anchor the west end of the chapel.

The facility also includes a variety of meditation rooms, gardens, and meeting rooms, which provide ample space for diverse programs and events.
