On April 3, The University of Texas at Arlington broke ground on UTA West, its new highly anticipated campus, during a ceremonial event that marked a major step in the University’s expansion.
"We’re standing, literally, at the border of the second-fastest-growing major city in the country. This area is growing fast, and so is the need for access to a top-tier university,” said UTA President Jennifer Cowley at the event. “We know the people of Fort Worth and Parker County want a national research university to provide workforce development and R&D support to area businesses—and to keep their great students close by.”
The groundbreaking ceremony featured officials from UTA, local government and business leaders, and community members. In a statement, UT System Chancellor James B. Milliken noted that “At its founding, Fort Worth sat on the physical frontier of a fast-growing young state and country, and today it stands as an epicenter of economic development and prosperity. We are honored to have UT Arlington play a leadership role in opening new fields of opportunity and development of the region."

Prospective students and their families will be able to visit this location to learn about admissions, advising, financial aid, and other essential services.
Below are a few images of the building as it nears completion.
