Update on Master Planning for the Brackenridge Tract

 

The final report of Cooper, Robertson & Partners is now available. It may be accessed at http://www.utsystem.edu/reo/brackenridge/ProjectReport.html. A hard copy of the report has been provided to the Texas State Library and to the Austin History Center, which will make those copies available to the public after the accessioning process is completed.

 

The master planning team led by Cooper, Robertson & Partners presented two conceptual master plans to the Board of Regents in an open meeting on June 18, 2009. The Board took no action on those plans. A public comment session will be held sometime during the coming academic year; the date for that session will be announced at a future time. A video of the June 18th meeting, the PowerPoint presentation given at that meeting, and the two conceptual plans are available at www.utbracktract.com.

 

Public comments may be sent to BrackTract@utsystem.edu.
