After releasing a report on three possible futures for the Institute of Texan Cultures, UTSA is seeking another round of public input.
The three options have been in consideration throughout the process: keep the ITC where it is, move the ITC to a new building within Hemisfair, or relocate the ITC altogether from Hemisfair and its home in the aging Texas Pavilion.
A committee of civic leaders and experts delivered a report in November that outlined key issues with remaining in the current ITC building: a bill of $28 million in deferred maintenance and an estimated $2 million per year for ongoing maintenance; and that the facility in its current state “does not meet [the] American Association of Museums accreditation standard,” which limits the institution’s access to touring exhibitions, among other issues.
