塞克斯教堂及信仰與價值觀中心坐落于弗羅里達州坦帕大學，強調的是特征、價值觀、精神發展、以及世界人民對全球各大宗教的教義理解。教堂占地12,750平方英尺，未來還將建造60貝爾的音樂雕塑鐘樓，屆時，坦帕大學的中心校區將成為一個四方形廣場，可以舉辦各類活動。

教堂的外觀設計突出顯示了其對學生個性和個人價值觀發展的重視。主墻體由疊層木材建造，向上高聳，并內扣成杯狀，看上去如同正在禱告的雙手。教堂的布局以黃金分割點為基礎。幾何學上的和諧在很多文化和宗教中都被視為神圣的體現。教堂內的游行順序設置清晰直觀。各種建筑元素實現了光與影之間天馬行空的交織畫面。此外，教堂播放的音樂也體現和諧之美。在這里可以進行禮拜，舉行聚會，組織演出等，功能多樣。教堂西端是嶄新的管風琴，黑櫻桃木純手工制作，高45英尺，3184根琴管。

教堂還有各種冥想室、花園、以及會議室，空間充足，適合各類活動的舉辦。

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.
