Senate Passes Funds for New Engineering Building

A proposed revamp of the University’s engineering facilities takes another big step forward.

The University’s 430,000-square-foot teaching and research space is meant to create a hub for engineering education, replace 1950s-era classrooms and labs, and spur undergraduate collaboration across engineering fields. Cockrell School of Engineering dean Gregory Fenves says Texas’ continued growth and prosperity will hinge on the breakthroughs he expects from the EERC. He called the building UT’s number one legislative priority, aside from base funding for instruction.
