Texas Woman’s University Expands/Renovates Hubbard Hall

DENTON, TX – McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., recently celebrated an important milestone at the Texas Woman’s University (TWU) Hubbard Hall project in Denton, TX—the topping out of what will be the Student Union at Hubbard Hall. 

TWU Hubbard Hall

Hubbard Hall is home to the Student Government Association Chamber. The organization will have new quarters. The three-story hall is over 45 years old and lacks many of the amenities today’s students have come to expect. Hubbard Hall is one of six major construction projects in the works on campus.

Construction began in early 2018 on the 100,754 square feet of renovations and 23,920 square feet of additions. Work on the building has been phased and portions have remained occupied during construction. The overall project is expected to be completed later this year.

  • Q&A: How to Prevent Kitchen Grease Fires in Commercial Kitchens

    School cafeterias and university dining halls serve thousands of meals daily, relying on high-heat equipment like fryers, grills, and ovens. While these operations keep students fed, they also generate significant grease-laden vapors. Without proper controls, this grease becomes a silent fire threat. As a certified exhaust cleaning specialist and business coach who has helped hundreds of institutional facilities achieve NFPA 96 compliance, I emphasize that proactive grease management isn’t optional; it’s a core fire/life safety practice.
