UT San Antonio lands $186 million in state funds for maintenance of its campuses

The University of Texas at San Antonio, close to closing its historic merger with UT Health San Antonio, has landed $186 million in new state funding for maintenance of its campuses, according to school officials. The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the money, which will be spent over the next three years for deferred maintenance across UT San Antonio’s academic and health facilities. The cash influx will bolster UT San Antonio's education, research and healthcare components by allowing it to revitalizing classrooms, laboratories and infrastructure across its Main Campus, Downtown Campus and Health Science Center, President Taylor Eighmy said in a statement.
