UT Austin - Statistical Handbook 2001 - 2002

The Educational and General Funds budget for The University grew by 7.1% from $482,251,368 in 2000-01 to $516,409,615 in 2001-02, primarily from increases in tuition and fees and other income sources. The increase from General Revenue funds was only 5.0%. Instruction makes up the bulk of that budget (52.16%), followed by Staff Benefits (13.31%) and Operation and Maintenance of Plant (11.08%) (Table F 1).

Liberal Arts receives 22.3% of the instruction budget allocations to colleges and schools, followed by Natural Sciences (22.0%) and Engineering (13.2%) (Figure F 4).

There was a slight decrease in the dollar amount of contracts and grants awarded (not expended) in 2000-01 from 1999-00 (2000-01 is the latest year's data available). There were 2,332 contracts and grants awarded for just under $309 million in 2000-01 (Table F 5).

The UT Austin Main Campus grew by 553,622 gross square feet (GSF) of space in 2001 (Figure F 6), primarily from the addition of two new buildings: the San Jacinto Residence Hall (301,821 GSF) and Parking Garage 6 (252,100 GSF). Main Campus assignable square footage (ASF) grew by 154,985 square feet. This increase in ASF is tied directly to the addition of assignable space in the San Jacinto Residence Hall.

In total, there are over 15.3 million gross square feet of space and over 8.5 million assignable square feet of space on the Main Campus (Figure F 6), of which almost one-third is related to the delivery of instruction (Figure F 7).
