The Leadership Team also outlined the following goals for the master plan
that set expectations concerning the outcomes of the planning process, and
helped to guide decisions around the program and program accommodation
strategies for each Texas Athletics sport:
The Leadership Team identified major priorities from the overall program
together with general facility improvements, also listed below. Detailed
programs for shared sports training facilities and for each Texas Athletics
sport are described in this report.
Replace Frank Erwin Center with a new events center on campus or off
campus
CONTEXT
Texas Athletics owns a range of practice and performance facilities, both
on and off-campus, to support each Texas Athletics sport. A few facilities
are shared through arrangements with the universitys recreational sports
program. It also offers shared training, conditioning, and academic support
programs within several shared venues.
Most Texas Athletics facilities are located within the area defined by the
2012 Campus Master Plan as the Central Campus, which is generally located
between Waller Creek, I-35, Dean Keeton Street, and Martin Luther King
Jr. Boulevard, and within the East Campus area east of I-35 and bordered
primarily by East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Manor Road, and Leona
Street. The Frank C. Erwin, Jr. Special Event Center is located south of
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard within the new UT Austin Medical District.

A total of five site options and two sub-options were explored with the
Working Group and Leadership Team, and ultimately presented to the
university Facililties and Space Council. While there were advantages and
disadvantages associated with each site, the Facilities and Space Council
expressed a preference for site option 3 if located on campus for several
reasons:
There are fewer competing uses for the site, and the sites along San
Jacinto Boulevard would be preserved for future academic, medical, or
research use
The concept for site option 3 places the events center in the area south of
Myers Stadium between Red River Street and Robert Dedman Drive on Lot
70. Although the mens basketball program needs seating for approximately
12,000 spectators, the entertainment market for this venue in Austin
demands a minimum of 13,500 seats, using a stage at one end with 180
degrees of viewing. The new events center size was generated from this
premise and the ability to fit a full-sized ice hockey rink on the floor, should
one be added. The resulting seating capacity for basketball is 15,300 if the
upper level seating is omitted at the stage end. If the entire upper level
ring is filled with seating, the events centers maximum capacity could be
as high as 17,450 seats when used as a basketball arena. (The current Frank
Erwin Center has a 16,540-seat capacity for basketball. Average attendance
over the last five years has been 12,275 with the peak attendance reaching
approximately 14,629.)
Based on the Facilities and Space Councils direction, the consultant team
prepared a more detailed study of site option 3 that further explored both
the events center program, including seating capacity and conceptual
layouts, and the integration of the center within the site and surrounding
context. This included overall site layout and building configuration;
vehicular, pedestrian and service access; building height and grades relative
to Capitol View Corridors; and utility displacements. The future basketball
practice facility is proposed for Lot 37, the corner of Red River Street and
Clyde Littlefield Drive.

between Waller Creek, I-35, East Dean Keeton Street, and East Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Other major venues are located south of Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard, within East Campus, and a few smaller venues are
located off-campus in other areas of Austin.
The following is an overview of the major Texas Athletics sports venues.

In 2008, renovations to the north end zone, named the Red McCombs
Red Zone (RMRZ), were completed with the addition of an upper deck,
approximately 4,300 club seats, and 47 suites, and renovation to the lower
deck. Initial construction of the RMRZ also included a new academic center
for Texas Athletics, a war memorial plaza, and a food court. The RMRZ was
designed to accommodate future expansion of athletics, which in short time
included a consolidated home for Longhorn Athletics. The RMRZ houses the
mens and womens athletics directors, coaches offices, the T-Association,
the Longhorn Foundation, Business/Travel, Human Resources, Events,
Trademark & Licensing, Communications, and Texas Athletics IT.
The Red McCombs Red Zone Sports Medicine and Strength Training
Project, located in the lower levels of the RMRZ, was completed in summer
2013. The two-floor, 32,000-square-foot facility includes a state-of-the-art
sports medicine facility on the upper floor, which affords access to premier
clinical and rehabilitative personnel and services, and a strength training
complex on the lower floor. Amenities include a hydrotherapy pool, two
plunge pools, golf putting and simulator area, 40-yard acceleration track,
nutrition area, and student-athlete and staff locker rooms. The Volleyball
Player Development Center was completed March 2015 and the Texas
Athletics Nutrition Center was completed in September 2015.

PROCESS
The master planning process for the Texas Athletics Master Plan consisted
of three phases of work: analysis and program, alternatives exploration, and
master plan synthesis.
The planning process was organized around a regular rhythm of work sessions
with a working group composed of senior staff from Campus Planning and
Project Management and Intercollegiate Athletics staff responsible for
facilities; a master plan leadership team with senior representatives of all
Texas Athletics departments with an interest in the plan, including the mens
and womens athletics directors; and other Texas Athletics stakeholders.
During Phase 1 of the planning process, the consultant team met with the
Working Group and the Leadership Team, and held in-person and telephone
interviews with the coaches of each Texas Athletics sport and other Texas
Athletics stakeholders to identify key issues and program needs. These
interviews included the following.

ANALYSIS
The UT Austin 2012 Campus Master Plan established an overall framework for
campus development that addressed the overall structure and organization
of the campus and campus systems, and identified a range of campus
improvements to be implemented over time. The 2012 Campus Master Plan
also identified sites for new university facilities, but in most cases did not
assign users or specific programs to these facilities.
Most Texas Athletics facilities are located within the area the 2012 Campus
Master Plan defined as the Central Campus, which is generally located
between Waller Creek, I-35, East Dean Keeton Street and East Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and within the East Campus area east of I-35,
and bordered primarily by East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Manor
Road, and Leona Street. The Frank Erwin Center is located south of Martin
Luther King Jr. Boulevard within the new UT Austin Medical District. The
following analysis examined Texas Athletics facilities within the context of
the 2012 Campus Master Plan framework and proposed improvements for
these areas, as well as the master plan for the UT Austin Medical District.

Several large surface lots and parking garages are located in close proximity
to DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium and the Frank Erwin Center, and state
garages located on Trinity Street provide additional parking on game days.
The 2012 Campus Master Plan proposed four parking garages on existing
surface lots to accommodate anticipated growth. Development of surface
lots will need to take into consideration and address parking displacement.

Robert Dedman Drive. Chilled water and steam, sanitary sewer, electricity,
and gas lines also run east-west along Clyde Littlefield Drive. Development of
sites within Central Campus will require confirmation of utility infrastructure
capacity and may require utility relocation in some instances. The planned
relocation of a gas line may impact development south of the Recreational

FOOTBALL
Football game day brings vitality to the campus with tailgating and social
events within the campus lawns, plazas, and surface parking lots. Vehicular
access and traffic flow to the campus is controlled from the periphery of
the Core and Central Campus areas. Longhorn Foundation patrons are
directed to designated Longhorn Foundation surface parking lots and
garages throughout the Central and East Campus areas. Other parking is
provided within East Campus and UT, City of Austin, and state parking lots
and garages south of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. As surface parking
lots become repurposed for other campus uses, alternative tailgating and
parking options need to be considered. Longhorn Foundation hospitality
areas are set up at various locations within DKR, to the north outside of the
Texas Performing Arts Center, and to the south at Moncrief-Neuhaus Center.
A high percentage of spectators enter the stadium from Gate 1, and other
major entrances include Gates 8, 25, and 32. Planning for this area of campus
needs to take into consideration pedestrian flows to the major stadium
entrances and from east to west within DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Concessions and restrooms on the east side of the stadium are reported to
create bottlenecks at the ends of the stadium.

Vehicular access to the Frank Erwin Center occurs from Red River Street and
I-35 Frontage Road. Vehicles are directed to parking in UT, City of Austin,
and state lots and garages within a short walk of the arena. There is reserved
Longhorn Foundation parking in Lot 118 and Lot 108. An alternative
location for Longhorn Foundation parking will be required when these lots
are eventually replaced for other campus uses.
Primary pedestrian flows occur from surrounding parking areas, including
state garages west of Trinity Street. Consideration will need to be given to
managing pedestrian flows through the UT Austin Medical District as it is
developed.
Texas Athletics would like to improve the game-day experience to draw
spectators into the Frank Erwin Center before the start of games.

The list of on and off-campus Texas Athletics facilities for which upgrades
and improvements are proposed is noted on the following plan of the
campus, and a detailed description is provided in the program summary
for each Texas Athletics sport. Proposed facility locations include Main
Campus, Whitaker Field, and East Campus. The list of new facilities
is noted on the subsequent plan, and the general program for these
facilities is also described in the program summaries. For these facilities,
the intent is to ensure campus land is preserved over the long term
to meet the needs of Texas Athletics sports, given competing demand
from other university constituents.
A key driver of the master plan is the need to identify a site for the
replacement of the Frank C. Erwin, Jr. Center and Denton A. Cooley
Pavilion, given their potential displacement by future development
within the evolving UT Austin Medical District. The program summary
for basketball that follows describes the current maintenance needs
and upgrades identified for these facilities, while section 6.0 of this
report identifies potential future locations for the facilities when they are
eventually replaced.

Working Group and Leadership Team, and ultimately presented to the
Facilities Space Council. The options included the following:
SITE 1
The master plan did not evaluate any site outside the boundary
of the main UT Austin campus. Site 5 refers to the possibility
that other sites might be considered in the future, such as a site
located on UT Austin property not contiguous with the main
campus. Also, a site not on UT Austin property could be considered
if a collaborative process between UT Austin, the community and
possibly the private sector provides evidence that such an arena
could be feasible.
There are fewer competing uses for the site, and the sites along
San Jacinto Boulevard would be preserved for future academic,
medical, or research use

SITE CONCEPT
The concept for site option 3 places the events center south of Myers
Stadium between Red River Street and Robert Dedman Drive on Lot
70. The desired program is a tight fit on this site particularly across the
east-west axis between the Student Recreation Center and Red River
Street. Potential adjustments to the Red River Street alignment might
allow the facility to shift to the east for improvements to Myers Stadium
and Mithoff Fieldhouse and could create more space around the events
center and benefit the pedestrian experience.
If the new events center is built at this location, particular attention
should be given to the position of the building relative to site boundaries,
Capitol View Corridor 13, circulation around the facility, service access
and service tunnel design relative to the utility tunnel within Dedman
Drive, and design of the pedestrian realm.
Major pedestrian entrances to the events center are provided at the
northwest and southwest corners of the building along Robert Dedman
Drive, and the northeast corner from Red River Street. An improved
pedestrian plaza along the south side of the Recreational Sports Center
connects San Jacinto Boulevard to the Robert Dedman Drive entrances.

Site option 3 is located within Capitol View Corridor 13 (CVC 13), which
generates elevation limits of approximately 632 feet along Red River
Street and 644 feet along Robert Dedman Drive. CVC 13 rises towards
the north as does the topography of the site. Sinking the events center
into this grade change will position the building within the CVC limit and
reduce its overall scale on the site, while also facilitating below-grade
service access from San Jacinto. While the appropriate events center
floor elevation and its relationship to grade will need to be confirmed,
the current option 3 diagram accommodates the higher seating
requirement with additional seating along the north side of the upper
level, resulting in a roof form that slopes north to south and conforms to
the CVC 13 height limits.

service tunnel design relative to the utility tunnel within Robert Dedman
Drive, building height relative to Capitol View Corridor 13, and the design
of the pedestrian realm and new public gathering space.
The Leadership Team identified major facility priorities out of the overall
Texas Athletics facility needs described in this report. The implementation
of these priorities will occur over time as funding becomes available and
priorities are confirmed.
The Campus Master Plan Committee, established to enforce the architectural
campus master plan design guidelines, will evaluate compliance of proposed
Texas Athletics facilities. As individual projects move forward, consideration
must be given to several elements of the 2012 Campus Master Plan and
additional related studies:
The Campus Master Plan Campus Realm Toolkit, which provides a range
of strategies for extending the qualities of the campus core into Central
Campus as new buildings and public spaces are developed over time
