On July 23, President Diana Natalicio held a press conference to reveal the final renderings of eight campus projects that will incorporate pedestrian walkways and green spaces throughout the campus. Construction includes plans to close off campus to traffic and to do away with all roads and parking lots within the campus. The transformation projects are expected to cost a total of up to $25 million. Funding is already identified for construction on Hawthorne Street and Wiggins Road. The remaining projects will be paid for through fundraising efforts tied to UTEP’s $200 million Centennial Campaign.
