The Bureau’s Houston Research Center Levels Up
The Bureau of Economic Geology’s Houston Research Center (HRC) recently received some major structural and aesthetic upgrades. Local Austin company Ten400, including owner Elizabeth Williams and her team, is executing the vision with input from Bureau personnel.
Visitors are now greeted with a 16 ft-wide LED backlit sign in front of the administrative building, replacing a nearly 20-year-old sign that had become worn and tattered over the years.
Additionally, the administrative building itself is getting a facelift. The rock-surfaced walls are being power washed, and a fresh coat of paint will match the burnt orange wall where the new sign sits.
An entire HVAC system upgrade is also underway, including new rooftop units on the administrative building and new, large ground units for the warehouse areas, which are fully air-conditioned and climate-controlled.
These renovations have been in the works for a long time, and the Bureau is excited and proud to be investing in its facility near the heart of the oil and gas industry sector in Houston.
Congratulations to HRC Manager Nick Hamilton and his team for facilitating these improvements!
