The Sorensen Student Center renovation and expansion included 90,000-sf renovated space and 30,000-sf of new construction across three distinct areas. The project required significant structural upgrades with new steel brace frames, particularly challenging due to their installation adjacent to an active food court housing eleven vendors. Key elements included renovations to the Ragan Theater, Center Stage, bookstore, food court, administrative offices, and various student services areas. The new commissary addition required H-pile shoring and concrete foundations and was constructed while maintaining loading dock operations. Construction sequencing was carefully orchestrated to ensure continuous building access, protect existing structures, and maintain safe pedestrian routes throughout the active campus hub. Additional scope included elevator replacement, retail space modernization, restaurant frontage redesign, and upper concourse improvements, all while minimizing disruption to daily campus operations.

The two larger buildings include traditional classrooms, STEM classrooms, labs, music rooms, private study rooms, open creative spaces, a central office, multi-purpose room, library, administrative offices, common seating areas, restrooms, and support spaces. The gymnasium features a basketball court with hardwood flooring and a fitness room with weights and athletic equipment. Construction of exterior site improvements included an athletic field, playground equipment, and an 111-space parking lot with electric vehicle charging stations.

The single-story building holds two large classrooms for the Department of Art’s sculpting and ceramics courses. Other rooms include plaster area, wood shop, glazing and kiln rooms, a foundry, forge and welding areas, faculty offices, a locker area for students to store projects, a lobby, and larger storage areas in the back to house kilns, clay, and other art supplies.

During construction, Big-D crews were challenged with COVID-19 labor shortages and supply chain issues, as well as coordination of numerous design elements that were particularly challenging to navigate through. In the end, the project was a success, and the new building is one of the more visually attractive buildings on campus.

Big-D completed the construction of the campus Central Energy Facility in 2016. As part of this project, Big-D installed a Cogeneration system, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) that utilizes a 5 MW natural gas-fired combustion turbine to produce electricity. The waste combustion heat is captured by a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) that, in turn, produces steam for the campus resulting in a more energy efficient means of generating electricity and heat for the campus.
