The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV)’s Strategic Plan for 2021-2025 includes plans to demolish and replace Building 5 at its Camp Hubbard Campus in Austin. Estimated project cost is $72 million.
Buildings 1 and 5 at Camp Hubbard were built in 1955 and are experiencing multiple infrastructure system failures.
Based on these factors and others such as mold issues, the Texas Facilities Commission determined that the cost of repairing the buildings will exceed the cost of replacing them.
