Texas– The University of Texas (UT) is planning to replace the Frank Erwin Center and construct a new, on-campus arena using a public-private partnership. The new arena is estimated to cost between $350 million and $450 million. The facility would be designed to host college basketball, concerts and other events. UT has issued a request for qualifications and proposal with a due date of March 8 for responses.

Those that meet qualifications will be invited to submit proposals. The new facility will be located in one of two locations- a parking lot south of Mike A. Myers Stadium or the Recreational Sports Center and Steve Hicks School of Social Work south of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The lot where the Frank Erwin Center currently sits will be used for future expansion of the Dell Medical School.
