===University of Texas at El Paso=== The campus architecture of the [[University of Texas at El Paso]] (UTEP) is a rare example of dzong style seen outside the Himalayas. Initial phases were designed by El Paso architect [[Trost & Trost|Henry Trost]], and later phases have continued in the same style.<ref>For more details see the ''[http://admin.utep.edu/Default.aspx?PageContentMode=1&tabid=30289 UTEP Handbook of Operations] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210043029/http://admin.utep.edu/Default.aspx?PageContentMode=1&tabid=30289 |date=2012-02-10 }}''.</ref> In the United States, this style became known as Bhutanese Revival and Neo-Bhutanese Revival. The style was first introduced in America in 1917 by El Paso architect Charles Gibson using photographs from an article on Bhutan in the April 1914 issue of the National Geographic Magazine. Upon the suggestion of Kathleen Worrell, the wife of the dean of the State School of Mines and Metallurgy (today’s University of Texas at El Paso), Gibson’s initial designs appeared on the front page of El Paso newspapers. The governing board of the University of Texas System purchased the designs from Gibson and awarded them to the architectural firm of Trost & Trost. Henry Trost, assisted by the school’s faculty, completed the final designs of four Bhutanese Revival buildings at the school’s Paso del Norte campus.<ref>{{cite news |title=New Texas School of Mines to be Built in El Paso |newspaper=El Paso Herald |date=6 January 1917 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Henry |first1=Jay C |title=Trost and Trost in El Paso |journal=Texas Architect |volume=37 |issue=2 |date=1987 |pages=34–39 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |id={{ProQuest|55025820}} |last1=Hoover |first1=Austin |title=New Mexico State University: the architectural legacy of Trost and McGhee |journal=New Mexico Architecture |volume=30 |issue=4 |date=July 1989 |pages=29–33 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vierra |first1=P.
