GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT FACILITY: The Texas A&M; University System proposes that the Project A/E layout and design an entity harmonious with the best architectural design elements of the Texas A&M; University campus. It is desired that the YMCA Building, located at the intersection of Old Main Drive and Houston Street on the Texas A&M; University main campus in College Station, be seen by students, visitors and the University community as an important part of the overall University identity. Consideration should be given to the historic aspects of the existing building, the effect of the new elements on existing buildings as well as the functional relationships involved. Consequently, aesthetics design, material selection and other planning methods should be considered in order to achieve this concept. It is expected that the work of this program will result in renovating the west portion of the building, demolishing the east portion and replacing the demolished east portion with an addition. The renovation and addition of the YMCA Building is to primarily house VP Marketing and Communications, Dean of Faculty, Faculty Senate and Philosophy Department. The project includes administrative and faculty offices, and classrooms. In addition to office and classroom space, it is envisioned to recreate the Reading Room that existed in the front portion of the building € s first floor through historic effect. This room, bordered by two tiled fireplaces, was once a place for students to gather for conversation and informal meetings. It is envisioned that this space would once again serve as a lounge as well as a location for meetings and receptions. The addition east portion of the YMCA Building is also envisioned to have a moderately stately entrance from the academic side of campus to house the Dean of Faculties but not to overstate the existing west side main entrance. As a result of the renovation/addition, the YMCA Building will return to being a hub for student contact and involvement which will generate large numbers of student, staff and public use. At the same time, the university is preserving a campus landmark.
