DALLAS-The class A lease not only provides a new AIA Dallas office, but space for the city's first center for architecture. The finish-out design will be decided Saturday.

[IMGCAP(1)]DALLAS-This Saturday, AIA Dallas is holding a juried competition to bless the final design of the city’s first Dallas Center for Architecture. The street-level office location has been secured by a 10-year lease, with the ribbon-cutting planned for Sept. 1.

The Dallas center will be one of a few in the nation, an initiative that will catapult the city into the company of New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Houston. To date, 31 designs have been submitted for the proposed 9,000-sf combo office and design center in the Precept Building at 1909 Woodall Rodgers Frwy. in Uptown. Registered architects and associates have until 5 p.m. Friday to submit plans.

The jury committee is being led by Donald Gatzke, dean of the University of Texas at Arlington’s School of Architecture. Additional jurors are Kevin Alter, associate director of the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for American Architecture and Design; Jeffrey Brown, principal in charge of design for Houston-based Powers Brown Architecture; and Martha Jane Murray with the Wilcox Group/Architects in Little Rock, AR.
