The design of the building takes its inspiration from the surrounding campus style, with Neo-georgian brick detailing, TCU blonde masonry, simple masses and the proportions of human scale architecture. One of the main focuses of the building design was to re-orient and expand the north west entrance to the building to create a welcoming space that promotes interaction with the larger campus, especially the North-South pedestrian path.
Additional learning spaces were added to the building to improve its overall functionality and the ability of the space to continue to support and advance TCU’s modern dance program. A computer dance lab is also included in the redesign and will allow students and teachers to choreograph dances and monitor performance through the use of state-of-the-art technology. Disruption of the existing building wall was kept to a minimum allowing the wall to become part of the new lobby, emphasizing the relationship between old and new.
