📰About Sul Ross State University - Performing Arts Center (PAC)
Sul Ross State University is renovating a 5,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building at 101 E. Sul Ross Ave. in Alpine to create a new Performing Arts Center. The project, registered with TDLR in July 2025, involves converting the existing structure into a facility that includes a black box theater, a music rehearsal room, a costume shop, dressing rooms, and support spaces. The estimated cost of the renovation is $9,500,000, which computes to $1,900 per square foot.
Project Scope and Design
The Texas State University System is the owner of record for this renovation and alteration project. BRW Architects serves as the design firm of record, overseeing the transformation of the building into a dedicated arts facility. Marcela Abadi Rhoads is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The scope is specific to the interior and functional conversion of the existing metal building, rather than new construction, focusing on creating specialized performance and rehearsal environments within the 5,000-square-foot footprint.
Timeline and Status
Plan review was completed in July 2025, and construction was scheduled to begin in August 2025. The filing indicated a completion date of October 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window for this project is 426 days, which is longer than the county median of 125 days for similar renovation and alteration filings in Brewster County.
The project cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of comparable filings. The $1,900 cost per square foot is also above the county median of $178 per square foot. This project is one of several registered by the Texas State University System, which has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $424,362,447, including the Francois Fine Arts Building and the Museum of the Big Bend, both also located in Alpine.
