Student Union & Student Success Center
Student Union & Student Success Center
The project scope consisted of combining 2 buildings into 1:
both a new Student Success Center and a new Student Union that would provide more than 235,000 square feet of student engagement space.
The Student Success Center section will feature classrooms, a 400-seat, arena-style lecture hall and spaces for the Office of Undergraduate Education, the Office of Graduate Education, the Hobson Wildenthal Honors College, the Center for Teaching and Learning and Education Technology Services.
The Student Union key features will include new retail dining concepts, lounge seating inside and outside the facility, an outdoor amphitheater, group study rooms and a creativity lab. The facility also will have at least 10 meeting rooms, dedicated dance practice space and a 12,500 square-foot ballroom, which can accommodate 800 to 1000 people.

The 4-story groundscraper is divided in physical model to showcase the connection between the Student Union Section & the Student Success Section of the building.
The multitude of program spaces is highlighted with plan cuts on the 2nd and 4th floors/roof that allow you to visualize the grand staircases, deep light wells, and the entrances on all sides of the building.
UT Austin McCombs School of Business Mulva Hall
UT Austin McCombs School of Business Mulva Hall
The project scope consisted of a 17-story, 400,000 SF building that gathers undergraduates, PhD students, academic departments, research centers, faculty offices, and the school’s administration under one roof. The building is carved to preserve required campus site lines to the State Capital and the UT Tower.
Mulva Hall
Mulva Hall
Respectful of the historic red-clay-tiled architecture at UT Austin while creating its own identity through a modern interpretation of traditional materials.
Mulva Hall will foster greater community engagement and construct a new way finding beacon for the whole campus.
With prominent entrances on three sides, the permeable ground floor becomes a vibrant, light-filled exchange, seamlessly linking the new building to the campus and city. It is flanked by a cafe, large learning auditorium, and generous plazas at each entrance that enhance this connectivity while extending the commons to the outdoors.

3-Part Division & Iteration
The UT Austin Mulva Hall was consistently going through form and facade iterations in 3 main groups: The Tower, Floors 4-6, and Floors 1-3.
Therefore, to test out multiple options, experimentation was done with 3D printed sleeves that could be plugged into each facade and massing options.
Shown are a select number of projects from my time as a Designer at Perkins&Will Dallas, not a complete list of contributions. All architecture projects in the Higher Education section, involve direction from the Dallas Design Director Ron Stelmarski, Architect-of-Record, and my direct supervisor in the design studio. All project and image rights belong to and are the property of Perkins&Will.
