University of Texas Tower to undergo $70 million restoration

University of Texas Tower to undergo  million restoration

On the west clockface of the University of Texas Tower ― a treasured Longhorn landmark that was once the city’s tallest building ― a cricket rests on the hand. Individual light bulbs create the clock face’s glow, and mechanical technology that clicks every 30 seconds powers the hand forward.

The tower opened in 1937 to be the university’s main building and library. Decorated with seals of the world’s greatest universities and names of the Western world’s renowned thinkers, the tower represents the tireless ambition that has propelled UT forward for a century. Steel bookshelves literally reinforce the building’s structure, and the institution has still not reached the building’s massive capacity for books.
