But this remarkable view from six stories high is a poor preview of the one coming. When a new undergraduate business school building named for the couple — Mulva Hall — rises on this very site, it will stand 17 stories and provide a sweeping vista of the Forty Acres. The $425 million building opens to students in Fall 2028, and it will be one of the tallest academic buildings on campus, standing as a landmark among landmarks with views of the Capitol, the Tower, and the University’s original 40 acres.
For the Mulvas and a group of fellow visionaries, that view will have been more than a decade in the making. Initially seen as a renovation in 2011, the vision began to change with the Mulvas’ gift of $40 million in 2014. The UT System Board of Regents approved funding the new building in November 2023, $50 million from McCombs reserves, $150 million in philanthropy, and $225 million with financing from the UT System. Now, Dobie Garage is set for demolition this summer, and pending final Board of Regents approval in November, ground will break this year for this state-of-the-art educational complex.
