Camp Hubbard (CH), the 15-acre central Austin property east of MoPac between W 35th and W 41st streets, was the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) original state headquarters. A former division of TxDOT and now an independent agency, Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), maintains its administrative headquarters on the campus in buildings CH-1, CH-5 and the fifth floor of CH-6. Upon completion of a new campus in southeast Austin in April 2022 TxDOT will vacate operations from Camp Hubbard and split the property into two parcels. The north 11 acres will be transferred to TxDMV and the remaining south 4 acres will be sold to one or more state agencies. In anticipation of the transfer of facility ownership and maintenance, TxDMV contracted a campus wide assessment of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, interior and envelope systems in buildings CH-1 through CH-7. Buildings CH-1, CH-2 and CH-5 were determined to have repair costs exceeding the cost of replacement. In 2020 TxDMV presented a project analysis with the findings in a request to the 87th Legislature to fund the design of a new office building large enough to consolidate all TxDMV headquarters functions. The proposed new building will replace the existing one-story CH-5 with a five story, high performance, resource conserving, flexible and resilient, 187,500 gsf building. As of February 16, 2023, the design firm has been selected. The project is 65% construction documents completed. Further details regarding design completion and firm construction timelines have not been released. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
