Student Cafe & Gallery

University of Texas at San Antonio
College of Architecture

The Monterey Café is a multi-function space at the University of Texas San Antonio College of Architecture. The 800 sqft addition serves as a food vending area, social hub, and gallery for students and staff who are often in the building until late in the evening. It features a uni-strut ceiling grid to allow sculptural “cloud” installations to be featured overhead. Large windows provide natural light and serene views into a xeriscaped courtyard.

The project was conceived by students in a UTSA design studio and completed while employed with RVK Architects in San Antonio, TX.
