Moderators CJ Vogel Posted September 27 Moderators Share Posted September 27 The first steps are being taken for the Longhorns’ need indoor multi-purpose facility on campus, just south of Moncrief and DKR. Construction and demolition works have begun cutting trees and marking the building of the School of Social Work for demolition set to begin in November. Of course the Texas indoor facility is at the Frank Denius Fields and is severely outdated. Here is a look at the rendering for the new indoor facility. I drove by campus this morning for a Quick Look. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornsRUs Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Will that target completion also coincide with new grass fields at DKR? I believe CDC or Sark had mentioned it would come after the new practice facility or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxEx14 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Never thought I’d be the guy to say “hate to see those mature oaks go” but here I am… University will probably find a way to monetize the cuts! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk randoke Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I’m probably behind. Is the building being torn down the one the state historical commission was looking at possibly protecting? I have zero doubt Abbott and Eltife will get what they want but i thought there some potential hurdles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened back in the early 70s when they cut down the oaks on the west side of the stadium to add the upper deck. Big protests on campus. It is real shame they were never replaced.

Architecturally insignificant but with emotional attachment for some. I think the façade of one exterior wall will be preserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
