Photo Chronicle of the UTIG/TACC building during construction

The new UTIG/TACC building (known as the Research Office Complex or "ROC") on the Pickle Research Campus is complete (see photos of the ground breaking ceremony)!  Construction began in October of 2005. UTIG was up and running in the ROC on January 2, 2007. John Goff and Cliff Frohlich are UTIG's representatives on the Building Committee overseeing the project for UT.  John will be taking photos throughout the construction process and posting them here periodically.
