What to expect from FAS this spring

Dear FAS Colleagues,

I hope you enjoyed the winter break with your family, friends and loved ones. I spent time virtually with my five brothers and sisters; it’s rare we are all able to come together given our schedules and we live in different parts of the country. COVID-19 made our visit different from usual, but I’m grateful we were able to safely celebrate the new year together.

Acknowledge Dr. King’s Service in memory and in practice

Dear FAS Colleagues,

Service, as a core value of FAS, represents the spirit of partnership and, by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s definition, “grace”— a spirit that binds our various divisions across the portfolio. Monday’s holiday is an official day of service and celebration of the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. As we reflect on Dr. King, let us also acknowledge the humble service of Martin the man, as well as our own capacity to serve.

Preparing for the Future, Grateful for Our Campus Community

Dear UT Community,

This week, as UT administers the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in Austin to front-line health care workers, we know that we feel a new sense of optimism even while a “return to normal” seems far off. The difficulties presented by the disease are not fully behind us, and there is much work remaining before we turn the corner on COVID-19.

Around The Portfolio

1978 wing of Welch Hall renovated for modern instruction and research approaches

January 22, 2021

Capital Planning and Construction (CPC) managed a complex, recently-completed and innovative project to renovate the 1978 wing of Robert A. Welch Hall, a multi-use facility that housed lecture halls, administrative offices, laboratories and classrooms associated with five science departments, plus a large greenhouse located on the roof. Welch Hall was constructed in 1929 and expanded in 1961 (the west wing) and again in 1978.

Stormwater management has been incorporated into the Anna Hiss Gym (AHG) renovation. The south wing main lab renovation, shown here, was completed in May 2020.
