Blanton Museum of Art Grounds Redesign

The comprehensive grounds redesign will unify and revitalize the museum campus, which is approximately 200,000 square feet and contains two buildings and Ellsworth Kelly’s “Austin,” through architectural and landscape improvements.. The new grounds initiative will reinforce the Blanton’s dual mission to serve university and city communities via improvements at the northern and southern gateways to the museum site: at the end of Speedway, the landscaped spine of the UT campus traveled by thousands of students a day; and at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, which forms UT’s southern boundary with Austin.

Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building

With world-class petroleum, chemical and mechanical engineering programs, over 20 energy-related research centers and a location in the heart of the nation’s most energy-producing state, The University of Texas at Austin has already firmly established itself as the energy university in the U.S. But, through the years, the only missing piece has been the existence of an impressive facility that can bring the campus together in pursuit of innovative solutions to the energy challenges of the future. Until now.

The College of Education Student Services Renovation on SZB 2

The renovation of the Sanchez building creates a welcoming and visible entry for the ‘one stop shop’ of student advising, counseling, and IT help desk as well as a new student lounge for collaboration. The creation of the student lounge and student services center emphasizes and integrates the work of students, providing collaborative spaces for academic learning and ready access to the services students need.

Anna Hiss Gym Courtyard

As part of the Anna Hiss Gym renovation project, the courtyard directly adjacent to the building was renovated to provide an intimate outdoor space for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to campus. The project provides updated landscaping, new hardscape, as well as outdoor plazas with furniture and seating. The central feature of the space is the Sentinel IV sculpture from the renowned artist Simone Leigh.
