A restrictive site and a desire to utilize existing parking helped shape the form of the 23,500 sf, 1,100 seat Auditorium. Two entries, located to take advantage of existing west parking and new east parking, lead to separate two-story lobbies connected by a centrally located core of restrooms, housekeeping, ticket sales, and administrative areas. Divided equally into a lower sloped-floor portion and a rear stepped section, creates a variety of audience seat options – all with superb site lines within the Auditorium. Wide, fan-shaped seating helps the facility fit the small site and ensures that all viewers feel close to the stage. Designed acoustically for multiple-sized...

A top priority was to take the existing cafeteria, library and secondary entry of Frenship High School and make these an all-day use area with high technology and collaborative learning experiences in an informal user-friendly setting. To accomplish this, the existing secondary entry, which was adjacent to both the existing cafeteria and library, was renovated by removing the common wall to make the area function as a single space. ...

Ervin Elementary School campus was designed to consolidate two older school facilities that were outdated and inefficient. BGR was tasked by Lubbock ISD with two primary objectives for the new facility: 1) to create an “old school” feel in the design, and 2) to bring a residential feel to the building. The first objective was met by using a brick and stone look exterior. The second objective was met with the use of residential features, such as pitched roof areas, so that the new 88,000 SF school building would be compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The interior of the building is “kid friendly” with color way-finding and an elementary color...

The design components respond to a District program request for distinct separation between the two grades, unified by a central core component. The graded wings each contain three teaching “pods” consisting of one science lab / lecture space and four classrooms. Provisions were made to expand each wing with one additional pod. The core area contains administration, media, specialized classrooms, music, dining, assembly and physical education components.

Pragmatically, the building program required replacement of lost educational spaces with 21st century upgrades to finishes, infrastructure, and amenities. However, the community’s emotional expectations associated with replacing an iconic public landmark were a key element of the design process. The constrictive site dictated a 6,500 square foot two-story structure connecting three separate existing structurally sound buildings. The secure entry vestibule leads to an octagonal circulation hub and secure courtyard beyond, both used as student gathering spaces. A reconstructed portion of the fire-damaged, original 1929 entry highlights the courtyard. Common-use areas like administration, computer lab, media center, and 55-seat multi-purpose lecture hall are...
