The CAPPA Building is the home of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Arlington, at 601 West Nedderman Drive. The university's 2016 accreditation report gives its year as 1986, its height as four floors and its size as 120,000 square feet (11,150 square meters).

The building holds 28 studios and nine classrooms used for studio or lecture courses. A digital fabrication lab, as of 2016, had two laser cutters, four desktop 3D printers, one 3D scanner, a CNC table and a CNC lathe attachment. Two libraries support teaching inside: the Architecture and Fine Arts Library and the Materials and Assembly Library.

A 42-station computer lab is on the third floor, and a digital commons on the first floor offers printing and plotting. In 2015 the university renovated 11,465 square feet (1,065 square meters). The program also uses the Architecture Annex, which has 5,472 square feet (508 square meters).

This building has no Wikipedia article. Facts come from UT Arlington NAAB Architecture Program Report, 2016.
