About the Project
Located in Houston’s Third Ward, the iconic form catalyzes academic activity on a prominent HBCU campus.

The facility features the flexibility to evolve in bold ways to meet the future needs of Texas Southern University’s students.

Students, faculty, administration, and community members, participated in the design process to share ideas and collect data, imperative to the development and implementation of the new library learning center. The library provides an array of resources for upper-level, graduate and professional researchers.

Both inside and out, the building expresses collegial pride for the historic institution. The location of the building is a prominent gateway to campus, with views down Tiger Walk. Once inside, a gallery houses extremely rare historical documents, cultural art and artifacts, while also serving as an event space.

Motorized awning windows featured for natural ventilation, controlled by RS Series control panels.
