    M. ROSS ARCH. 422 • A RACQUET CLUB FOR LUBBOCK, TEXAS. A Racquet Club for Lubbock, Texas A Thesis Program in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Bachelor of Architecture degree. Design Option Presented by Michael David Ross Texas Tech University Spring 1978 1, INTRODUCTION 2, THE CLIENT 3, FINANCING 4, THE SITE 11 S> FACILITIES 24 ^, RESTRICTIONS 40 7, APPENDIX 54 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The nature of this thesis program is the development of the most precise and complete collection of data concerning my topic, A Racquet Club for Lubbock, Texas. Some of the questions this program will answer are: What is a Racquet Club? Who this Racquet Club is for? Where is this Racquet Club located? What goes on in this club? The elements composing the physical make-up of the facility are: 1. Clubhouse A) offices B) lounge and dining C) pro-shop D) lockers and dressing facilities E) indoor tennis and racquet ball courts 2. Outdoor tennis courts This facility not only will enhance the city of Lubbock but also provide its members a com­ plex that enables them to play the game as it should be played and to savor the deepest pleas­ ure the game has to offer. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT The name and the game came from the ancient net and racquet sport known in France where it was invented, as Jeu de Paume. This sport had its origins in the Middle Ages. It is mentioned in twelfth and thirteenth century manuscripts. In the sixteenth century the game was known to be exclusively an aristo­ cratic game because of the high cost of building courts.
