TAMIU Campus Plan Master Plan Update, May 2023

Fine & Performing Arts Plaza The new campus master plan landscape improvements also features a new cultural node for the areas adjacent to the new Fine Arts Addition. Existing underground utilities will need to be relocated as part of the new construction. Programming and planning for this building will include plans for an outdoor space to support the creative programs and education of the Fine Arts curriculum. This unique campus asset will feature an outdoor plaza to support performances in a comfortable space between two structures; thus, providing shade and great acoustic opportunities. Lighting, supplemental shade with shade sails, or a substantial trellis element will enhance the experience for both performers and visitors. This Performing Arts plaza can also be designed to function as an amphitheater for graduation, student meetings, and other department, program, or university gatherings. New lawn spaces located between the radial pathways on the south end of the Fine Arts Addition provide both flexible outdoor spaces for everyday use and an opportunity for art installations. Vibrant plantings and ornamental trees will enhance these park-like reflective and quiet spaces. Pedestrian circulation will be constructed from special paving and/or decomposed granite to reinforce the pastoral feel of this pedestrian node.
