The remaining portion of the Student Center was demolished on July 16, 2008 at noon to prepare for the construction of Scharbauer Hall. Demolition of the "connector" building began Friday, June 13 at 8 a.m. and work has continued for the past few weeks. The buildings have been dismantled piece by piece using equipment with a "claw" to remove the debris.
Earlier this year, TCU Trustees voted to demolish the current Brown-Lupton Student Center and rebuild it as academic space. The new 74,000 square-foot-structure, named Scharbauer Hall, is designed to more efficiently house several academic units such as AddRan College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the John V. Roach Honors College. Administrators estimate that the process will take approximately 18 months.

Actually, the component of the original and former Brown-Lupton Student Center (east side of TCU Commons built in the 1950s directly in front of Reed Hall to its immediate east) that one sees in this demolition video is nothing more than the west side center facade. The entire building, save the center west facade, had already been demolished around this remenant. So, all that was needed - a tug on a support beam in the upper northwst corner of the facade - and what was left came tumbling down
