History
[edit]In March 1930, Paul Cret was contracted to become the consulting architect for the University of Texas, followed by a second contract in June 1931 to design ten new buildings.[1]
Features
[edit]The south wall of the building is graced by a sundial honoring Francisco Arumí-Noé designed by Jeff Barajas[2] and dedicated on 6 November 2010.
The building houses the School of Architecture's wood shop, main office, and a variety of Interior and Architecture studios.
