Civic Park Amenity Building

Inspired by the tradition of the grand garden folly, the Amenity Building is a focal point within Civic Park, adding substance, scale, and orientation.

TAMU-SA Public Health and Education Building

Texas A&M University (TAMU) has deep roots in Texas – established in 1876 as a land-grant university in College Station. Today, the top-tier Texas A&M system enrolls one of the largest student bodies in the United States, distributed statewide over 11 campuses. TAMU San Antonio campus enrollment has grown to around 8,000 graduate and undergraduate students since its inaugural first-year class in 2009 – primarily Bexar County-based, and 70% first-generation college students. We are proud to be part of TAMU-SA’s continued growth as a beacon of higher education in San Antonio.
Rather than simply letting the functional aspects of the structure dictate form, we developed a true park building – elevating the building to a focal point within the Park’s formal composition.

Northwest Service Center

Ever wonder where garbage trucks go for a bath? The Northwest Service Center is a maintenance hub for the many hard-working vehicles in the City fleet. Alamo Architects provided architectural design criteria (bridging documents) for this central fleet maintenance campus for the City of San Antonio. Our exploration of light industrial materials in City projects (such as fire stations) gave us a ready vocabulary to bring local identity to these municipal buildings – within the construction and budget parameters of building typology.
