Dec. 16, 2022 SHARE: Houston Christian University celebrated the grand opening of the Morris Family Center for Law & Liberty with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 15, signaling the official opening of the multi-million-dollar complex. The complex’s central attraction is a main building modeled after Philadelphia’s iconic Independence Hall. An adjacent administrative building provides classroom space for students to study the humanities. The complex was established to educate individuals on the principles that make America an exceptional nation; train and equip teachers, lawyers and the business community to articulate our nation’s founding principles; and facilitate civil discourse among diverse groups on politics, public policy and our nation’s future. HCU Founding Father and lead donor, Dr. Stewart Morris, Sr. and the Joella and Stewart Morris Foundation were recognized for their contributions to the complex as well as the impressive list of donors, including The Robert and Janice McNair Foundation, University friends, alumni, faculty, staff and members of the community.
