Fernando Brave, FAIA and I headed down to South Padre Island last Wednesday to attend the Texas College & University Facilities (TCUF) Conference. The conference committee members did a great job putting this one together, which lasted until noon on Friday. This year we had a booth as a Gold level sponsor. A big thank you to Debner Associates for their generous contribution of our stylish table and chairs! We also had a drawing for an iPad, and the lucky winner was Jimmie Neff Jr. with The University of Texas at San Antonio. Congrats Jimmie!






iPad winner – Jimmie Neff Jr.


The sponsors exhibit hall was buzzing and we saw some great booths! We enjoyed our visit to the University of Texas Brownsville campus. There was a mexican fiesta reception in their new Art Center, which had a fabulous balcony overlooking the the lake on campus.

Structures + Haynes Whaley also held their ten year anniversary party on a cruise in the bay on Thursday night. Everyone in attendance had a great time! Looking forward to another ten years S+HW! Overall, the TCUF Conference was a great success and we are looking forward to 2014 for the next one in Dallas!
