               The Elizabeth Perkins Prothro Hall in Dallas, TX is a 20,000‐square‐foot Perkins School of Theology facility that is the centerpiece of the revamped theology quad at Southern Methodist University. The building houses facilities for education and community uses, including a 2,200 square‐foot great hall for public events, a refectory for dining services, a student computer lab, preaching lab, classrooms, seminar rooms, and two lecture halls.

               
               Prothro Hall is expected to use over 42% less potable water than would a conventional building. Building is saving potable water by using waterless urinals, as well as ultra‐low flow lavatory faucets, kitchen sinks, and janitor sinks.
