• The facility includes more than 12 acres of glass, 1,200 tons of Texas limestone and 1,700 tons of reinforcing steel, and thousands of workers are on-site daily.
• Of those workers, more than 2,000 are pouring concrete daily.
• The amount of concrete poured is equivalent to the length of 477 AT&T Stadiums.
• The 12 acres of glass is approximately 50,000 2017 Tacoma truck windshields.
• The amount of Texas limestone used will equal the weight of 340 Texas-built Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition trucks.
• Solar panels on-site will produce 7.75 megawatts of electricity, or 30 percent of the campus’s energy consumption. Texas wind farms will generate the remaining electricity.
• No chemicals, artificial irrigation or fertilizers will be used for the drought-tolerant landscaping.
• There are 10 rain-collection barrels on the campus that will each hold 10,000 gallons of water for irrigation.
• There will be an on-campus dining facility offering a variety of options, including sushi.
