Demolition, site work, renovation and addition to an educational facility in Arlington, Texas. Completed plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; for the renovation of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

Located at the corner of 1st St. and S. Oak St., the University Center (UC) opened in 1953 and is prominently situated on the north side of campus, serving as a hub for student activity and campus-wide events. The project entails the demolition of approximately 148,500 GSF of the existing 236,500 GSF, renovating the approximately 88,000 remaining GSF, and adding approximately 174,000 GSF of new construction, totaling 262,000 GSF. This project is identified as Building #SP04 on the Campus Master Plan and listed on THECB Capital Expenditure Plan (MP1) as priority #6. The UC is home to various meeting rooms, ballrooms, entertainment facilities, and Dining Services, along with several student resources, including the Career and Development Center, Office of New Maverick Orientation, Fraternity and Sorority Life, Intercultural Student Engagement Center, Student Government, and Student Publications (The Shorthorn). Since its initial construction, the UC has undergone ten expansions, responding to the needs of a continuously changing student population. The result is an inefficient facility that is inadequate to serve the needs of the campus.
