We'll be getting a new building, but a rare event will have to occur for it to happen. A highrise will be demolished first to make room. The Engineering Science Center, built in 1964, will be demolished. It's 127 feet tall with 8 floors.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING: UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
UT regents approve plan for $310 million engineering building

The University of Texas can now proceed with a plan to build a $310 million engineering education and research center.
UT System regents unanimously approved the plan Thursday. Approval had been expected.
The new building, which is scheduled to be completed in December 2017, will replace a cramped and inefficient engineering building constructed a half-century ago.
