The Educational and General Funds budget for The University grew by 5.2% from $516,409,615 in 2001-02 to $543,400,935 in 2002-03, primarily from increases in tuition and fees, overhead from sponsored projects, and other income sources. The increase from General Revenue funds was only 1.9%. Instruction makes up the bulk of that budget (52.28%), followed by Staff Benefits (14.68%) and Operation and Maintenance of Plant (8.88%) (Table F 1).

Liberal Arts receives 22.1% of the instruction budget allocations to colleges and schools, followed by Natural Sciences (21.7%) and Engineering (13.2%) (Figure F 4).

The amount of contracts and grants awarded (not expended) in 2001-02 grew by 23.8% over 2000-01 (2001-02 is the latest year’s data available). There were 2,285 contracts and grants awarded in 2001-02 (2,332 in 2000-01) for $382 million (Table F 5).

The UT Austin Main Campus grew by 746,053 gross square feet (GSF) of space in 2002 (Figure F 6), primarily from four new buildings and a building addition: Parking Garage 7 (353,520 GSF), Seay Building (189,000 GSF), Indoor Practice Facility (69,750 GSF), North Office Building (69,000 GSF), and the Geology Building addition (56,921 GSF). Main Campus assignable square footage (ASF) grew by 145,885 square feet. This increase in ASF is tied directly to the addition of assignable space in the Seay Building and the Indoor Practice Facility.

In total, there are 16 million gross square feet of space and over 8.6 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).
