Batts Hall, Educational building on South Mall at University of Texas, Austin, United States

Batts Hall is a five-story building on South Mall at the University of Texas in Austin that houses language departments and university administrative functions. The structure contains classrooms, offices, and meeting spaces dedicated to language instruction and academic programs.

This building was constructed between 1952 and 1953 and named for Robert Lynn Batts, a former law professor and chair of the Board of Regents. It emerged during a period of campus expansion and modernization at the university.

Batts Hall was dedicated "to the study and teaching of modern foreign languages that men may understand one another", a phrase tied to its founding purpose. As of 1973 it housed the Departments of Germanic, Romantic and Slavic Languages. The building is named after Robert Lynn Batts, a former law professor and Board of Regents chairman.

Batts Hall stands on the South Mall, the central east-west walkway of the UT Austin campus, so it is reached on foot from the Main Building and the surrounding mall. The five-floor building has no visitor entrance of its own; access to the language departments inside follows normal university building hours.

The building's dedication reads "to the study and teaching of modern foreign languages that men may understand one another". Romance languages professor Robert Haden Williams helped plan and design the structure, which opened in 1952–1953.
