Teacher Retirement System of Texas Headquarters
The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) has redefined its workplace with a dynamic new headquarters at the Mueller Office buildings—Alpha and Bravo—in Austin. The Investment Management Division operates from 152,000 square feet in Alpha, while the Member Services and Support teams engage with members across 250,000 square feet in Bravo.
Designed for form and function, the new TRS space blends architectural innovation with human-centered design. Expansive open offices foster collaboration, while private focus rooms and acoustically optimized spaces support thoughtful work. Leading-edge conference rooms seamlessly integrate technology for virtual and in-person meetings, while inviting breakout lounges and social hubs encourage interaction.
Natural light, thoughtful material selections, and intuitive layouts create an environment that feels inspiring and approachable. This headquarters is a purpose-driven space that elevates productivity, connection, and the future of retirement services in Texas.
