| - | ===== The Story ===== | + | ===== History ===== |
| The UT CS program's continuous growth caused the department to always take space wherever it could be found on campus. Even though the department took over all of Taylor Hall, the last time the department fit in one building was back in the 1970's. By the 2000's, it had gotten to the point that we were scattered among seven buildings on campus. While that may have been good for keeping us walking, it wasted time, forces us to duplicate some functions, and most damagingly, it isolated groups. | The UT CS program's continuous growth caused the department to always take space wherever it could be found on campus.

| - | The situation had reached the point where we needed to fix it to avoid the department's future being threatened by the space issue. Our department leadership worked with the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to provide funding for the building. The university and the UT system provided a very large part of the funding as well. This generous funding not only provides us the space we need, but secures a place for the department's ambitious goals for growth and innovation. | + | The situation had reached the point where we needed to fix it to avoid the department's future being threatened by the space issue.
