Description
Texas Tech University System and the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering are proposing a new 40,000 sq.ft, LEED Certified, 2-story Petroleum Engineering Research Building. The new facility will match the architectural style of the historic Engineering Key and demonstrate Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design. Spaces incorporated into the project will include faculty and administrative offices, conference rooms, classrooms, graduate and undergraduate areas, library, and engineering laboratories. In addition, the project will construct 50-80 new parking spaces adjacent to the new facility. The project will include asbestos abatement and partial demolition of the existing 38,000 sq.ft. Exercise Sciences Center (ESC) with the associated utility tunnel.
