Editorial overview
Program-led work for complex institutions
Marmon Mok’s published portfolio emphasizes buildings with demanding operational requirements: hospitals, schools, laboratories, convention facilities, arenas and performing-arts venues. The recurring design task is to translate complex programs into clear circulation, durable public space and facilities that can change over time.
Independent recognition across firm and project scales
The Texas Society of Architects lists Marmon Mok as its 2008 Architecture Firm Award recipient. The Tobin Center received a 2018 TxA Design Award after AIA San Antonio recognized the project in 2016, and the University Health Women’s & Children’s Hospital received a national IIDA Healthcare Design Award in 2024.
Leadership and operating data require caution
Founding history, office information, project scope and market coverage are firm-reported. The current people-page introduction refers to six partners, while the visible roster names five people as Partner; this profile records the named roster rather than resolving the discrepancy. Fees, capacity and project budgets are not standardized publicly.

Selected projects
University Health Women’s & Children’s Hospital
Why it matters: a 14-story, 300-bed academic hospital designed by Marmon Mok in association with ZGF, combining complex clinical programs with family spaces, natural light, wayfinding and evidence-based interior design.
View official project page →Tobin Center for the Performing Arts
Why it matters: LMN Architects and Marmon Mok reworked the historic Municipal Auditorium into flexible performance venues while retaining its street facades and reconnecting the complex to the San Antonio River.
View official project page →Henry B. González Convention Center Expansion
Why it matters: the project required selective demolition, phased implementation and extensive coordination within an occupied downtown facility, while adding exhibition, meeting and ballroom capacity and new links to Hemisfair and the River Walk.
View official project page →Alamodome
Why it matters: a 1.4-million-square-foot multi-use venue whose movable seating and conversion systems support convention, arena, stadium and theater configurations; the practice also reports a long sequence of later renovations.
