Iconic Texas Tech Administration Building gets state historical marker
The original building on the Texas Tech University campus now has a well-deserved historical label. Tech and the Lubbock County Historical Commission officially designated the Administration Building – the first and oldest building on campus – with a Texas Historical Marker Celebration, making the structure a Registered Texas Historic Landmark, according to a Tech news release. Constructed between 1924 and 1925 after Texas Technological College was founded in 1923, it becomes just the second structure on campus to become a Registered Texas Historic Landmark, joining the Dairy Barn (2015). The designation is the highest honor bestowed by the State of Texas for historically and architecturally significant buildings. “For more than a century, generations of Red Raiders have passed through these doors and gathered around this building for some of the most important moments and traditions in the life of our university,” said Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec . “The Administration Building has become a timeless and iconic symbol of Texas Tech, even as the university has grown and changed around it. This designation recognizes the important place it holds in our history.” Three other buildings on the Texas Tech campus – the Human Sciences Cottage (2026), the Judging Pavilion (1982)
