架构师提供的文本描述。这种适应性的再利用前布兰顿艺术博物馆空间创造了一个社区中心的艺术和艺术史部。为加强建筑物与毗邻的表演艺术校园的连接，在大楼东侧(从现有的装卸码头，并建立了一扇通往大楼的阴凉的前门)新建了一个入口。新的入口和翻新空间包含了独特的学习空间和专门化的机会。

翻新后的空间将用于三个主要用途：展示教职员工和学生工作的展览空间、新闻部行政办公室和四个研究生工作室。该项目翻修了约30 000平方英尺，同时还更新了消防和生命安全系统，以符合现行法规，符合得克萨斯州无障碍标准，并使建筑系统现代化。校外创意研究室亦会迁往翻新后的空间。

The renovated space will be used for three primary purposes: exhibition space for the display of faculty and student work, administrative offices for the Department, and four studio spaces for graduate students. The project renovated approximately 30,000 square feet, while also upgrading the fire and life safety systems to meet current code, comply with Texas Accessibility Standards, and modernize the building systems. The offcampus Creative Research Lab will also be relocated to the renovated space.
