The Campus
Build and conserve.
- TCU played its first football game as a member of the Big 12 in the “new” Amon G. Carter Stadium in 2012. The stadium, constructed in the Southwest Art Deco style, reflects the architectural heritage of Fort Worth and the original 1930s stadium. Opening to rave reviews as one of the best college football stadiums in the country, the totally donor-funded project has transformed the fan experience.
- Two new residence halls have opened in the Worth Hills development, and a third is under construction. An Intellectual Commons on the east side of campus is also under construction. It will include a repurposed, media-rich library, a new academic building and a major addition/renovation project for the Annie Richardson Bass Building.
- In recent years, the University has made substantial investments in more than a dozen new facilities, such as the Brown-Lupton University Union, Clarence and Kerry Scharbauer Hall, the Mary Wright Admission Center, the Jane Justin Field House and six residence halls.
- TCU follows an ongoing plan through which it upgrades teaching spaces, residence halls and academic facilities to state-of-the-art standards.
- TCU is a leader in sustainability efforts and is listed in The Princeton Review’s Guide to 311 Green Colleges. All new construction projects are designed for certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program.
- The campus encompasses 277 acres in a residential neighborhood five miles from the heart of downtown Fort Worth.
Point of pride:
In spite of unprecedented construction activity, Horned Frog fans were able to cheer their team on in their home stadium throughout its $164 million, LEED-certified makeover.
