Maverick Memories
|
|
Take a long look at how the campus has grown over the years. View the photos.
From the top, Carlisle Military Academy occupied a few buildings on what is now the east campus. The drawing of Grubbs Vocational College's campus included plenty of green space and a flower garden. Cooper Street is near the bottom of the aerial photo of the North Texas Agricultural College campus in the late 1940s. Arlington State College, shown in 1967, was preparing for its transition to the University of Texas System. Davis Hall is under construction in the 1970 UTA photo at the bottom, and north of Texas Hall is the beginnings of the Fine Arts Building.
UTA continues to grow. Construction starts soon on the Science and Engineering Innovation and Research building, which will be south of University Hall, the Life Science Building, and Pickard Hall. A five-story parking garage will break ground in November north of the Maverick Activities Center, part of a two-year west campus expansion.
