HOUSTON - Strake Jesuit College Preparatory held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Jan. 5, marking the completion of a yearlong construction project on a new academic and administrative building, Loyola Hall.

In collaboration with Jackson & Ryan Architects, Catholic philanthropist David Harvey and D.E. Harvey Builders constructed the new classrooms, offices and community spaces.

The Moran Student Commons will feature a six-foot crucifix, designed, sculpted and cast in bronze by Cody Swanson in Florence, Italy. The names of 14 Jesuit saints are mounted in the first-floor common areas to remind students of their own invitations from God. 

Since January 2020, Strake Jesuit has been focused on bringing to life its strategic plan that recommits the school to being Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered and accessible. The building of Loyola Hall is just one initiative from that plan that comes as a response to the growing demand for a Catholic education in Houston. 

"A Jesuit education is more than academic preparation for a career. A Jesuit education addresses all developmental needs of a young man, and one of our primary commitments is to support student-centered learning and formation in amazing facilities," said President Father Jeff Johnson, S.J. 

To make an outstanding Catholic education on their campus more accessible to anyone who desires it, Strake Jesuit has increased its financial aid budget to $4.3 million dollars.
