Project Summary
The project entails the demolition of the East Mall Fountain and rough grading of the area in preparation for subsequent phases of East Mall improvements.
Project Location: This project is located west of San Jacinto Boulevard on E 23rd Street, including Winship Circle, the roundabout area east of East Mall Fountain. The barricaded area will be around the East Mall Fountain between Jackson Geological Sciences Building and Patton Hall, including the surrounding sidewalks.
Major anticipated outcomes/benefits/ of the completed project: Following the 2025 football season, Winship Circle will be transformed into a pedestrian-friendly space with ADA walkways. The Commemoration of the Precursors will include a reflecting water feature and landscape dedicated to celebrating the alumni who integrated The University of Texas at Austin.
Project Impacts
Pedestrian impacts: The south stairs adjacent to the East Mall Fountain and Patton Hall will be closed. The pedestrian sidewalk and ramps will still be accessible on the north side of the East Mall Fountain, next to the Winship Drama Building (WIN). All building entrances will remain open.
Traffic impacts: There are no expected impacts to roadways or vehicular travel. Loading dock access to Patton Hall and the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center will be maintained during construction.
Bicycle impacts: Bike lanes will not be affected. Bicyclists are encouraged to refer to the City of Austin Bike Map.
Parking Impacts: There are no expected parking impacts.
