The Arts Center serves as a signature landmark for the UTB/TSC campus arts district, complementing the historic Fort Brown complex through its brick architecture and proportions. The facility features an 800-seat performance chamber with a stage designed for a 150-piece orchestra, variable acoustics, rehearsal halls, teaching studios, recording capabilities, dressing rooms, lobby and patron spaces, and a balcony overlooking the campus.

Broaddus & Associates provided strategic purchasing, value engineering, and constructability reviews that generated more than $4 million in bond program savings. Key savings included approximately $800,000 through bulk purchasing of brick and $400,000 through builder’s risk insurance procurement, while maintaining the project’s quality and functionality.
