THETEX ASO NESTO P provides a welcoming f ace
f or the university’s popu- lation of 􏰀􏰁k to the indi- vidual student attempting to navigate the “ business” side of their tenure at the school. 􏰂 consolidation of services provided by various o􏰃ces across campus in the past, it is designed to diffuse student’s tensions and f rus- trations, inspire con􏰄dence that their problems will be taken care of, and e􏰃ciently get answers they need so they can f ocus on academ- ics, a rich student lif e, and a successful graduation.
As a primary representa- tion of the institution, it is located in the most iconic building on campus — the
U T Tower. With respect to the historic signi􏰄cance of the location, the exterior wallsandperimeterof the space were reconstructed to exhibit the character of the registrar’s counter, which was the original tenant of the space and had been damaged in the past. M od- ern insertions and furnishing were made to the interior, along with the though􏰅ul integration of technology,
to provide students with an easy and destressing experi- ence.
