history

So

Far

2023

The University of Austin Library was founded in autumn 2023 as part of the construction of the Scarbrough Campus. It will open for the first cohort of UATX founding students on September 1, 2024.

2023-2024

The Library is housed in a space constructed as an addition to the Scarbrough building in 1931. The brick and mortar visible in the walls are nearly a century old, and the windows that open from the Library to the booming skyline of downtown Austin once gestured to a nearly empty horizon.

PRESENT

Much has changed, yet the desire to learn still carries our thoughts upwards. Today, we at the University of Austin are set to make history again by building a 21st-century library for a great new university.
