ACADEMIC COMPLEX

SAN ANTONIO COLLEGE | SAN ANTONIO, TX COST: $12,962,000 SIZE: 74,000 SF SERVICES: Programming, Architecture, Interior Design, Cost Estimation

The new 74,000 SF three-story educational and administration facility for the San Antonio College Campus contains six academic departments: Business, Foreign Languages, Philosophy, Continuing Education (CE), Computer Technology and CE Management offices.

Services included user group coordination meetings and presenting the design to various oversight committees. WestEast Design Group also handled the coordination of all engineering disciplines including civil, MEP, structure, geotechnical engineering, and telecom data system design.

The goal was to design for maximum flexibility in the configuration of offices and classrooms.

The building cost was greatly reduced through the introduction of simple structural and mechanical systems. This project was completed on schedule and under budget. At the end of the project, over $400K in value engineered savings was returned to the college as a result of WestEast Design’s cost savings efforts.

CLASSROOM CENTER RENOVATIONS

WEST TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY | CANYON, TX COST: $16,000,000 SIZE: 144,500 SF SERVICES: Architecture, Interior Design, Construction Administration

WestEast provided a comprehensive modernization of an outdated and water damaged classroom building originally built in 1968. The four-story building features more than 50 classrooms, faculty offices, computer labs and a redesigned student services center.

The first floor (dubbed the Student Success Center) consists of 11 centralized student services once scattered from one end of campus to the other Advising, counseling, career services, student employment, study abroad and nationally competitive scholarships, among other offices, are now housed there.

All classrooms - the entirety of the second, third and fourth floors - are now considered “smart,” with stateof-the-art technology giving professors and students more options for teaching than the traditional blackboard and overhead projector. Teachers can use touch-screen computer monitors to launch PowerPoint presentations for the class to see. They can then upload those notes directly to the school’s server, WT Class, for students to view. The rooms also come with stereo systems and network-connected phones so administrators can deliver emergency-response messages in times of need.
