Caudill Rowlett Scott

Caudill Rowlett Scott (CRS) was an architecture firm founded in Houston, Texas, the United States in 1946.

The schools, generally one-story, had simple designs with classrooms on one side of a corridor, maximization of windows for lighting and ventilation, and shed, flat, or gabled roofs.

[7] In San Angelo, Texas, the Central High School was constructed with an open design, having 13 buildings on a campus.

Using the outdoors as an aesthetic, they designed a glass-walled and domed gymnasium in Brownsville, Texas for St. Josephs Academy.

[2] The firm relied on research, including studies and surveys that they conducted, such as with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) Architecture Division, as well as the publications that they produced.

Eventually, the corporation also developed a core group which focused on businesses related to both architecture and industrial engineering.

[27] In 2005, it was named "Firm of the Century" by Texas A&M University College of Architecture (in which the CRS Center is now housed).
