- History & Memorable Moments
The University of Texas at San Antonio was founded on June 5, 1969 by Governor Preston Smith. UTSA now offers access and opportunity for more than 28,500 students, as mandated by the UT Board of Regents. UTSA has come a long way in just 35 years. Administrative offices for the first UTSA president, Arleigh B. Templeton, were set up in 1970 in HemisFair Park, and architects Ford, Powell and Carson Inc. began developing a conceptual master plan for the campus.[1]
New construction and additions to the campuses recently completed include the Downtown Campus Durango Annex, home of the UTSA Institute for Economic Development; a $19.3-million Recreation and Wellness Center and Child Development Center; the Main Building, a $52 million facility located just east of the John Peace Library Building on the 1604 Campus; and a $23 million Margaret Batts Tobin Laboratory Building that will be used to study emerging infectious diseases. Completion of UTSA's $83.7 million Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building occurred in early 2006. Chaparral Village, a $45 million, 1,000-bed student housing project, opened in the Fall of 2004. The complex, one of the UT System's largest residence halls, includes several three-story buildings with two and four-bedroom units and a dining facility. In early 2007 UTSA entered into a contract to purchase an additional 125 acres (0.51 km²) of land, about half a mile west of the 1604 campus. This land will be home to the university's new $60 million sports park.[1]
