Institute for Fundamental Physics & Astronomy Bldgs, Texas A&M, College Station
Flexibility among the entire project team was required during construction of the two George P. and Cynthia Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics & Astronomy buildings. The two structures are interconnected and located at the northern edge of Texas A&M University in College Station.
The configuration of the plans negotiates the irregular shape of the confined site. One building is a six-story, 43,770-sq-ft elliptical building located at a major campus entrance. It adjoins the second structure, a five-story, 160,000-sq-ft, L-shaped building that wraps around a semicircular, 500-seat main auditorium.
