From the Houston Architectural Guide by Stephen Fox: `Clovis Heimsath and his designer W. Irving Phillips, Jr. used an extensive array of wall and roof shapes to indicate the interior spatial composition of this chapel and student center building.`

A graduate of Yale University`s famed architecture school, Heimsath studied under renowned, modernist Josef Albers.
