德州大学校友中心的增建和改造代表了对20世纪80年代设施的重大扩展,该设施由查尔斯-摩尔和理查德-道奇设计。该项目补充了现有建筑的建筑感,在内部采用了最新的材料感,同时利用了校友中心的独特选址,东面是达雷尔-K-罗伊德克萨斯纪念体育场,西面是沃勒河,并与邻近的德克萨斯牛仔馆建立了强有力的联系,该馆也是由Miró Rivera建筑事务所设计。

The addition and renovation of the Texas Exes Alumni Center represents a significant expansion to the 1980s facility, designed by Charles Moore and Richard Dodge. The project complements the architectural sensibilities of the existing building with an updated material sensibility on the interior while taking advantage of the unique siting of the alumni center in relation to both the Darrell K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium to the east and Waller Creek to the west, as well as creating a strong connection to the adjacent Texas Cowboys Pavilion, also designed by Miró Rivera Architects.

现有的卸货区和厨房被替换,为校友活动提供了一个新家,并在建筑的北端提供了一个专门的入口。参观者通过一个新的、充满光线的、双高的入口前庭进入,前庭用雪松和桃花心木护墙板覆盖,并有一个开放的楼梯,上面有德州本地石灰石踏板。

The existing loading dock and kitchen were replaced to provide a new home for alumni functions and a dedicated entry at the north end of the building. Visitors enter through a new, light-filled, double-height entry vestibule clad with cedar and mahogany siding and featuring an open stair with Texas native limestone treads.

内部从入口处展开,显示出一个新的传奇厅,厨房和浴室在第一层,而枫木镶板的大厅和会议室在第二层,有夹层照明。新的进展以一个简单的室外平台结束,该平台位于屋顶的大体上,为校友们提供了一个展望的地方,可以看到标志性的大学钟楼、小溪和体育场。

The interior unfolds from the entry to reveal a new Legends Room, kitchen and bathrooms on the first level, and a maple-paneled lobby and board room with clerestory illumination on the second level. The new progression ends with a simple outdoor deck positioned within the mass of the roof that provides a place of prospect for alumni to survey the iconic university clock tower, creek and stadium.
