Higher Education/Research, Award of Merit: Texas Tech University Weeks Hall
The $16.8-million restoration of historic Weeks Hall at Texas Tech University required the project team to transform a three-story residence hall into a fresh new space on campus where students and faculty could collaborate, study and work.
The restoration had been abandoned for the better part of three decades, and converting the 1950s-era building created challenges when it came to retrofitting it with modern utilities.
