Lone Star College Tomball Performing Arts Center Tomball, Texas This instructional black box theater is a fully-integrated complex where students at Lone Star College learn and practice the Arts.

The 425-seat Center is a versatile state-of-the-art venue well-equipped to accommodate a wide variety of theatrical, intellectual and musical performances. It features an orchestra pit, dressing rooms, costume shop, Green Room and back-of-house spaces.

As Project Director for this state-of-the-art facility, I can honestly say it has been a pleasure working with the Morris (now Huitt-Zollars) team.

Morris has performed with professionalism and has exhibited exceptional sensitivity to the users’ needs. The Performing Arts Center has become a focal point for both the campus and the City of Tomball and is used for college and community stage productions, concerts, civic events, and graduations.

Lone Star College University Park Energy and Manufacturing Institute (EMI) Houston, Texas This 70,000 SF workforce training facility is equipped with:

• 27 laboratory spaces for automated / advanced manufacturing and engineering technology • 5 classrooms • Administrative and faculty offices • Two simulation labs (drilling and crane operation) • High-bay manufacturing area and machine shops • Quality control lab

Lone Star College University Park Energy and Manufacturing Institute (EMI) | Houston, Texas

Lone Star College- University Park Energy & Manufacturing Institute 70,000 SF $12,600,000 The new 70,000 sf Engineering and Manufacturing Institute for Lonestar College is designed to take advantage of typical suburban office park construction typologies in order to provide an integrated classroom and lab space at the site, building, and interior scale.

The loosely wooded site, an existing late 70’s corporate campus organized formally but without spatial relationships, now operates as a community college.

This project acts as a new front, opening accessibility from the street and other campus buildings. Typical tilt wall construction is modified here in materiality and technique to join the institute with the site. First, a micro textured formliner captures the linearity of the loblolly pines.

Second, Tilt wall is joined with ‘Lift’ wall and ‘cast’ wall to create thresholds and highlight the public entry and teaching. Tilt and lift wall is also used at the interior of the site and allows visual and physical connections between the classroom and lab.

Santa Monica College Information Technology Building Santa Monica, California The IT Building centralizes the college’s IT Offices, Data Center, Network Services, Telecommunications, Media Center, Reprographics, and equipment and training by gathering them all under one roof. Designed to strengthen and define the campus’ southern edge, the building is a model of integrated sustainable technologies and has attained LEED Gold Certification. Sustainable elements include solar panels, natural ventilation, visual screen of glass fritting whose opacity changes in response to programmatic needs, and use of recycled materials. Its large concrete roof 1) functions as a sunscreen; 2) is a rainwater collection system; and 3) subsidizes the building’s power needs with turbines powered by wind which is accelerated and funneled by the roof design.

AIA Houston On-the-Boards Design Award

The new IT Building’s design provides a new distinctive campus edge.

It combines the IT Group, Network Communications, Telecommunications offices, the Data Center, the Main Distribution Frame and Police Dispatch, and the Media Center and Reprographics Department into one highly functional facility.
