UT Tower may reopen after 24 years of closure
UT President Larry Faulkner proposed reopening the 231 foot tower observation deck by late spring. If approved by the Board of Regents, a $500,000 upgrade would include a guard, elevator renovations, and access rules with a $5 to $6 admission, limited hours, and groups of 12 for 20 minutes.
