Architecture

Architecture and interior design services were provided to support the state-of-the-art 327,000 square-foot medical facility that also serves as a teaching hospital and Center of Excellence. Programmatic needs required a unique combination of directly aligned functions: an auditorium, a museum, surgical suites, surgical viewing domes, critical care units, executive offices, and research laboratories. The 10-story facility includes a learning resource center with computer lab, a research library, classrooms, a 325-seat auditorium (expandable to 500 seats), and a teaching museum.

Master planning, architectural, and interior design services were provided for the 260,000 square-foot main campus of the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, a 13-acre site located near Houston’s Texas Medical Center. The innovative medical campus was designed to resemble a ‘medical mall’ in order to encourage patients to access a variety of health care services in a pedestrian-friendly environment. Full diagnostic services, administrative offices, senior and pediatric centers, an ambulatory surgical unit, medical specialties, and clinics are available.

The project consisted of a three-story, 58,000 square-foot medical office building. The initial phase included the core and shell of the building, covered patient drop-off, which is a prominent architectural feature, covered physician parking, and site improvements. The core and shell package included the finish out of the two-story entry lobby, which has become an active building amenity and gathering space. The first phase also included the finish-out of elevator lobbies, and building common restrooms.  

The 40,000-square-foot student services building addition will provide for expanded student services for a growing student body on San Jacinto College's South Houston Campus. Prominently located as an addition to the main campus building, the project serves as the new entry and public face of the college.

Huitt-Zollars provided architecture services to the newly renovated, 40,000-square-foot Spencer Building, located on the San Jacinto College North Campus. Design Elements include  addition to the front of the building to house the Student Services Center, totaling $6.9 million.  The service center now includes an open computer lab, gathering areas, enrollment services, testing center, financial aid, and a President and Vice President Suite. Huitt-Zollars also improved air quality to reduce operational costs. 

San Jacinto College is developing a curriculum where academics, innovative technology, and private industry join to fill a missing link in advanced vocational training. The new Center for Industrial Technology, sited at the front of campus along the main street, highlights the combination of academia, new technologies, and the workplace.  This project embraces the technology with careful attention to the scale of the existing campus. The building has a large footprint that requires heavy service/ infrastructure and demands flexibility as future workforce needs of the community shift.

Huitt-Zollars was selected to provide architectural and engineering services for the El Paso Independent School District’s Administration Building Downtown Relocation project. The project includes renovation of an 80,000-square-foot facility, new construction of a 40,000-square-foot facility, and a surface parking lot for 300 parking spaces. 

Huitt-Zollars provided the design and construction phase services for the new RRPS District’s new Training Center and Board Room Complex. The 17,300 SF additions will house three state of the art training rooms and support space for teacher and staff training in mock classroom settings. The complex also includes office suites for the Directors of Curriculum for Elementary and Secondary Education. A new 150 seat Board Room is included in the design.
