Project | HACU Headquarters
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) broke ground on its new 25,000 square foot state-of-the-art headquarters located on a 4.7-acres site in northwest San Antonio, Texas on November 9, 2023.
"The groundbreaking ceremony for our new headquarters is a significant step, both physically and symbolically, in the process of creating HACU’s new, permanent home,” said HACU President and CEO Antonio R. Flores. “The new site will make San Antonio a center for HSI initiatives and new ways of advancing the success of all students in national and international higher education. The new headquarters will lay the foundation for eight thematic institutes to elevate Hispanic higher education and allow for the expansion of programs and services that will benefit the city as well as institutions across the globe.”
Following the groundbreaking ceremony, Juan Miró from Miró Rivera Architects provided an overview presentation on the new facility, which was designed in partnership with Marmon Mok Architecture. The new headquarters will accommodate eight (8) institutes and up to 100 employees on two floors. The building’s design will represent Hispanic culture and reflect trends in the Latin regions of the world. Building features include multi-departmental spaces, collaborative workspaces, and teaching environments. Outdoor green spaces on the campus will be functional and serve as gathering spaces for employees and the community. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2025.
