The Department of Geology and Geophysics is housed in the 76,000 square-foot Michel T. Halbouty '30 Geosciences Building complex. Numerous modern classrooms and well equipped laboratories are available for teaching and performing analytical and experimental geological and geophysical research.
The complex is comprised of two buildings that are connected by a breezeway. At left is the main entrance to the original building, constructed in 1932. A magnificent tower, which housed a tank for domestic hot water, originally adorned the building. The tower was removed for safety reasons in 1972; cast stone facing on the building was loose and in danger of falling off. #geology #geophysics #geoscience #halbouty #tamu #tectonophysics
