Texas Tech University, Petroleum Engineering Research Building

Project Overview

This building set the national benchmark for petroleum educational facilities, featuring an upstream research center, fracturing and production laboratory, reservoir and drilling simulation center, and natural resources pressure volume temperature laboratory. The building includes faculty and administrative offices, conference rooms, classrooms, a library, and integrated petroleum engineering laboratories. The building visually demonstrates engineering concepts by exposing ceilings, color-coded piping, and interior glazing at the numerous lab spaces, mechanical rooms, pump rooms, electrical rooms, and elevator shafts.
