J71 Master piece- . . .thoughts of humanity ' s greatest achievments, such as da Vinci ' s Mona Lisa, Michelangelo ' s David and Mozart ' s Requiem quickly come to mind. But as a vehicle for performing research and attaining knowledge of the arts, sciences and technology, the University was also a masterpiece. From its distinctive Spanish- style architecture, to its synchronized Longhorn Band, to its futuristic Classroom 2000, the University demonstrated excellence. Encompassing more than 300 acres, the facility had a colorful and textured history. Built in 1904, at a cost of $84,000, the Student Services Building remains the oldest structure still standing on the original Forty Acres. In sharp contrast, stands the University Teaching Center, completed in 1984 at a cost of more than $18 million, including $1.6 million of electronic media equipment. A University Masterpiece 3
