BHB provided MEP engineering design for the renovation of existing systems and a new three-story addition to the Bass Building on the campus of Texas Christian University. The new addition was approximately 36,524 SF, and the renovated project area was approximately 52,021 SF.
Renovation of the existing building was completed in phases so that the existing building could remain occupied during construction. Existing site utilities and associated infrastructure were also rerouted for the building to remain open.
The Annie Richardson Bass Building is located on the southeast corner of the academic side of campus. The LEED Silver certified building was built sustainably and includes classrooms, faculty offices, enhanced technology for state-of-the-art instruction and hands-on learning opportunities for students.

Craig Gregory, PE
Craig Gregory, PE
Vice President of Facilities Engineering
Growing up, Craig Gregory knew he wanted to become an engineer. Even as a kid, he was always interested in math and how things worked. Naturally, this led him to studying engineering and graduating from Texas A&M with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
Craig joined the industry soon after graduating from college in 1987. A few years later, he joined Merlin Hampton, who had previously hired him at another company, at BHB and he has been with us ever since.
Craig has experience as the lead electrical engineer in a wide variety of projects ranging from sophisticated electrical distribution designs to large data centers and complex renovation projects in hospitals and industrial facilities such as Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Outside of work, Craig enjoys spending time with his wife Laura and his two daughters Autumn and Allie. Their favorite place to vacation is Disney World.
