Texas State University partnered with American Constructors to build the Science, Technology, and Advanced Research (STAR) One building. The 20,000-square-foot facility is the university’s first building dedicated to research and commercialization. Its incubator program fosters the development of new commercial ventures related to the university’s applied research technologies.

The STAR One building sits within a 38-acre university site called STAR Park and provides tenants access to secure wet labs, clean space, a conference room, and office space. The building houses “spin-offs” where university faculty conduct research and generate intellectual property. Additionally there are “spin-ins” where companies outside the state come in and strategically work with the university.
Approximately 10,000 square feet of concrete site-cast panels make up the majority of the building skin. A large curtain wall system covers most of the building’s south end, providing a dramatic entrance to the facility. The building is designed with flexibility in mind to allow cost-effective retrofits to accommodate each of the tenant’s needs.
