Context Statement The site of the project is in the downtown area of Lubbock, Texas. The address of the site is 1215-17 Avenue J between Broadway and 13th street. Avenue J is one street west of Texas Avenue. Facility Statement The adaptive reuse of the 6-story Green Building (Myrick Building) as apartments will be employed to implement the thesis. There is an extensive range of potential users who would benefit from such a facility because of their connections with the area of interest.
