Setting the Stage: The Moody Center's Grand Debut

In the heart of Austin, the Moody Center emerged as a beacon of entertainment in April 2022. A $375 million project led by Oak View Group, designed by Gensler's architects, this 15,000-seat arena became the new vibrant home for University of Texas Longhorns basketball and a versatile stage for an array of live performances.

Designing for Harmony: A Fusion of Purpose and Community

University-oriented spaces like the Moody Center bridge academia and community. Designed for music with a nod to sporting events, this 530,000 square-foot arena emphasizes fellowship among attendees while harmonizing seamlessly with the campus's architectural ethos.

Crafting Excellence: The Role of Materials and Precision Engineering

ALPOLIC/fr metal composite materials, meticulously integrated by KSC, Inc., define the Moody Center's aesthetic. Beyond beauty, these materials strategically manage solar exposure, contributing to LEED Gold certification. The engineering finesse in mounting fin sunshades behind MCM panels showcases KSC's expertise and precision, meeting tight deadlines before the arena's inaugural concerts.
