The Architecture Building stands at Flint Avenue and 18th Street on the Texas Tech campus in Lubbock. Planning and design began in 1967. The Texas Tech University Libraries record credits the firm Ford, Powell & Carson and dates the building to 1971.
The architecture program moved in during the spring semester of 1971, and the building was officially dedicated on October 30 of that year. The architect Paolo Soleri gave the dedicatory guest lecture on November 1. The building rises ten stories.
Before this, the program had been in the three-story north annex of the Electrical Engineering building, now the Computer Building, since 1960. The college's address today is 1800 Flint Avenue.
