TFC: WPC - 15th OAG Space Plan in Austin, TX

The Texas Facilities Commission has registered a $1,500,000 renovation project at the William P. Clements State Office Building in Austin. Located at 300 W 15th St in Travis County, the work focuses on the 15th floor of the facility. The scope involves tenant improvements, specifically the demolition and removal of existing flooring throughout the entire level, followed by the installation of new finishes. This 30,000-square-foot interior overhaul is managed by registered accessibility specialist Mark S Robinson and designed by The Lawrence Group.

The project, identified in filings as TFC: WPC - 15th OAG Space Plan, includes significant updates to building amenities. The plan calls for the renovation of existing men’s and women’s restrooms, the addition of one unisex restroom, and the remodeling of existing break rooms and conference rooms. A key component of the scope is the creation of new work cafe spaces to support the office environment. The registered accessibility specialist ensures these changes meet state standards for accessibility compliance during the construction phase.

Financially, the project carries a $1,500,000 estimated cost, which calculates to $50 per square foot. This cost per square foot is below the Travis County median for renovation and alteration projects, which stands at $104 per square foot. However, the total project cost of $1,500,000 places it above the county median of $300,000 for its type, landing in the top quarter of similar filings. The scheduled build window is 81 days, which is close to the county median of 99 days for comparable work.

The Texas Facilities Commission has previously registered six other projects, totaling $9,809,557 across various Austin locations including the Central Services Building and the Supreme Court Building. The Lawrence Group also has a portfolio of six other registered projects, including locations in Katy, Richmond, Prosper, Seguin, and Southlake. This project involves public funds and public land, requiring strict adherence to state construction and accessibility regulations.

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in November 2026. Plan review is pending, and the completion date on the filing is targeted for January 2027. The TDLR status remains Project Registered. The Lawrence Group serves as the design firm of record, overseeing the technical execution of the space plan changes within the historic state office building.
