Project Summary
Demolition of the East Mall Fountain and rough grading of the area in preparation for subsequent phases of UT East Mall improvements. A Commemoration for The Precursors and other East Mall improvements.
Project Location: This project is located west of San Jacinto Blvd on E 23rd St, including the circular street area east of East Mall Fountain. The barricaded area will be around the East Mall Fountain between JGB and Patton Hall, including the surrounding sidewalks.
Major anticipated outcomes/benefits/ of the completed project: Following the 2025 Football season, Winship Circle will be transformed into a pedestrian-friendly space with ADA walkways, while truck delivery access will be retained. The Commemoration of the Precursors will include a reflecting water feature and landscape dedicated to celebrating the alumni who integrated The University of Texas.
The potholing aims to locate existing utilities for accurate connections by Andres Construction, supporting the future Whitis Court Residence Hall for University Housing & Dining (UHD).
