Fossilized Limestone Enhances University Campus

This article from Stone World explores the unique materials used in the Natural Science and Engineering Research Building at the University of Texas at Dallas, for which Page served as Architect of Record.

When designing the new Natural Science and Engineering Research Building at the University of Texas at Dallas, the architects wanted to reflect the colors of the existing architecture on campus and create a distinct natural-looking appearance for the structure.
