South Texas College of Law The building was originally a Ford Motor Car dealership in the 1940’s.  The T. Gerald Treece Courtroom, Advocacy and Student Development Center were built in two phases.  The Advocacy and Student Development Center, which includes the Reception, Mediation Rooms, Dean’s office, and other staff offices.  The existing 1940 concrete ribbed pan deck was painted to allow the original character of the building to show.  The Courtroom, Jury Room, and Board of Advocates Conference Room.  The main focal point of the courtroom is the full height Sapele Pommelle curved wall with stone base (shipped all the way from Italy) behind the Judge’s bench.  Brochstein's had his veneer in their stock for 25 years.  Custom gallery seating with Coach leather cushions, fabric panel walls, an AV system with special scene lighting controls, and ability to record mock trials taking place.  The Conference Room has a custom 18 foot conference table with the Sapele Pommelle inlaid in the center.  The level of detail, tight work space and schedule provided interesting challenges, but Tellepsen finished the project with a happy client.   Owner: South Texas College of Law Architect:  Gensler
