PROJECT OVERVIEW
In a bid to rejuvenate the heart of the Lone Star State, Texas embarked on an ambitious mission to revamp the state capitol complex. The Texas Capitol Master Plan aimed to address state office space needs, underscore the significance of the state capitol, and craft a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment. The Texas Capitol Complex Project has emerged as a beacon of this transformative endeavor, reshaping the Capitol Complex into a destination that pays homage to the Capitol itself. This visionary initiative encompasses expansive civic areas, pedestrian-friendly streets adorned with shade, and thoughtfully designed connections to the surrounding community.

SERVICE DETAILS
Our team worked alongside Kirksey Architecture on Phase One of the State of Texas Capitol Complex 2018 Master Plan, which includes two new buildings, five levels of underground parking, and three blocks for a new pedestrian mall on Congress Avenue.
Quiddity provided site civil services for the project’s new pedestrian mall, a tree-lined promenade, and the new parking garage, which can hold up to 4,4000 vehicles and serve as the foundation for the new pedestrian mall. Our team also oversaw the garage’s entry ramps design and civil services for right-of-way improvements around the Texas Capitol Complex. Various utilities beneath the streets must have been maintained or the equivalent service made available before the utilities were taken offline. To ensure this, our team coordinated all necessary utility relocations, including water, wastewater, drainage, gas, electrical, and communication.
