The Chapel of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School in Chicago is illuminated by the natural light that filters through three walls of varying-sized glass block.

In contrast to its three glass walls, the chapel's fourth wall is clad in cement panels with nearly 4-inch-square, cross-shaped perforations. Natural light filters in and reflects off of the polished concrete floors.
