Lead ArchitectTodd Dalland
ClientTexas A&M University Central Texas
With a commitment to integrating sustainability efforts with architectural beauty, Pvilion has designed and installed a custom solar powered fabric pavilion for Texas A&M University’s Central Texas campus. This design offers flexible durability, minimal weight, energy generation, and visual appeal. The canopy itself is semi-permanent and can be relocated if desired. The shaded space was completed with hammocks, picnic benches, and solar powered battery kits for device charging. Students can now gather and enjoy the charming outdoors on campus together from the comfort of solar-powered shade.
