Weslaco High School Music Halls Revisited

Weslaco ISD has asked Mata*Garcia Architects to revisit the exterior elevations for the Weslaco High School Music Halls project. (Original post of April 14, 2011.) They are as follows:

The original proposal complimented the elevations of the existing campus, yet updated the look by using corrugated metal panels in lieu of tilt-up concrete panels.

This version uses a warm gray brick for a base with Hardie panels place above in horizontal patterns to provide a visual reference to the existing campus.

The final study uses brick masonry with subtle detailing in the coursing. While this concept is different from the other buidlings on the WHS campus, the color of the brick and the detailing will compliment the existing facilities.
