New UC

The E.H. Hereford University Center is UT Arlington's central hub for student life, providing essential services. Despite its importance, growth over four decades has strained its capacity to meet rising demands. Upgrading and expanding facilities for events, lounges, food services, and student organizations is vital. This effort is key to ensuring a promising future for Mavericks.
