TCU’s Brown-Lupton Student Center and the building connecting it to Reed Hall will be razed this week to prepare for the construction of Scharbauer Hall.
Demolition of the “connector” building began Friday, June 13 at 8 a.m. and continue for approximately three days. Demolition of the Brown-Lupton Student Center will begin Wednesday, June 18 at 8 a.m. and will continue for approximately two weeks. The buildings will be dismantled piece by piece using equipment with a “claw” to remove the debris.
Earlier this year, TCU Trustees voted to demolish the current Brown-Lupton Student Center and rebuild it as academic space. The new 74,000 square-foot-structure, named Scharbauer Hall, is designed to more efficiently house several academic units such as AddRan College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the John V. Roach Honors College. Administrators estimate that the process will take approximately 18 months.
Note: The best view will be from the north side of the building, standing between Jarvis and Foster Halls. Parking is available in the visitor’s lot on Bellaire Drive. Maps are available here.
