History
[ edit ] University of Texas of the Permian Basin entrance sign
The University of Texas of the Permian Basin began in 1973[18] Bill Noël , who with his wife, Ellen Witwer Noël, became major philanthropists of the institution.[19] Odessa College (OC ) got underway from the very beginning, when OC students taunted the UTPB students that they were too old to produce a streaker . A student finally agreed, and with only his head covered, streaked across the campus.[20]
In 1991 the university began accepting freshmen and sophomore applicants, and in 2000, the J. Conrad Dunagen Library and Lecture Center was completed, featuring a twenty-station multimedia lab and classroom.
During 2006, the university was holding discussions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission about the construction of a new High-Temperature Teaching and Test Reactor which, if successful, would finish licensing and construction around 2012. It would also be the first university-based research reactor to be built in the US in roughly a decade, and one of the few HTGR type reactors in the world.[21] [22]
On April 17, 2008, the university broke ground on a new Science and Technology Complex. The new building houses chemistry, biology, physics, computer science, and information technology programs. The new 70,000-square-foot (6,500 m 2 [23]
A state-of-the-art building known as the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center is now open in the Midland campus, off Hwy 191 and FM 1788 . Construction began in 2009 and the center opened with a grand gala featuring Rod Stewart on November 1, 2011.[23]
In 2018, UTPB announced a new Kinesiology building at a cost of around 37 million dollars.[24] Engineering building.[25]
