Update on Master Planning for the Brackenridge Tract

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. The June 18th meeting is available at www.utbracktract.com; the PowerPoint presentation will be available at that site sometime during the week of June 22.

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