TWU Pioneer Hall

Texas Woman’s University was begun by a legislative act in 1901 to create a school that would become TWU in 1957. Today TWU is the largest university primarily for women in the United States. Pioneer Hall was dedicated in 1998, and is currently the newest facility on the TWU campus. The building houses the Kinesiology department as well as an indoor swimming facility, a suspended walking trail and other exercise facilities. It is home to the 2003 USA Gymnastics national collegiate champions (a title the team has claimed in seven of the past 10 years).

As with many structures on the campuses of first-rate universities across the country, Stromberg Architectural Products was involved in the construction. Stromberg coping, panels and trim are featured on the exterior of the building. These elements are composed of Stromberg’s Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), the best material for these purposes available on the market.
