UT Tower
The centerpiece "skyscraper" of the University of Texas campus is a living piece of Austin history. Still functioning as a university administration office, the 27-floor tower, which shines with bright-white and burnt-orange lights on special occasions and game days, houses rich regional and national experience from the 1930s on. Self-guided tours—complete with 360-degree views of the campus and city from the tower's observation deck—are currently paused due to a historic renovation and restoration initiative scheduled to complete in late 2026.
