Texas State Technical College\u2014Construction Technologies Center
\nArchitect: PBK<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Construction Technologies Center is a new approximately 129,000-square-foot, two-story career and technical education facility on TSTC\u2019s Waco campus. It consolidates Building Construction, Electrical Construction, Solar Energy, HVAC, Plumbing, and Pipefitting programs into one facility featuring large hands-on instructional labs, classrooms, faculty offices, collaboration and student spaces, and flexible infrastructure designed to support evolving construction technologies and TSTC\u2019s performance-based learning model.<\/p>\n

\"Design\u2014StarDesign<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scale, proportion, rhythm and materials were utilized to create a contemporary building that would be reflective of its purpose, attract talented students and faculty, while enhancing the campus\u2019s identity. Diverse spaces allow for learning in a variety of different types of settings, including high-tech, purpose-built labs; flexible classrooms; team-based collaborative areas, and spaces for individual focus. Each space has its own character, scale, materiality, access to daylight and views.<\/p>\n

\"Value\u2014StarValue<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Construction Technologies Center is designed for long-term value through flexible, adaptable learning environments that can evolve with changing technologies, industry demands, and teaching methods. Durable, cost effective, low-maintenance materials, including tilt-up concrete construction, reduce lifecycle costs and enhance building resilience. Electrochromic glazing minimizes glare and solar heat gain while preserving daylight, improving both energy performance and occupant wellbeing.<\/p>\n
