Texas A&M University Music Activities Center

The university’s new music activity center allows the music department to provide better spaces for learning and secure equipment storage. This 75,000-square-foot, two-story facility contains a practice field, four rehearsal halls, soundproof practice rooms, and locker storage for instruments. Exterior walls consist of brick veneer and metal panel cladding over various air and weather barrier materials, along with several fenestrations, including windows and louvers set in punched openings through the exterior walls.  RRJ’s enclosure consulting services for the new center examined weather resistance, condensation and thermal performance, materials of the building enclosure and roofing and waterproofing systems.
