Benedict Hall, Educational building at University of Texas, Austin, United States

Benedict Hall is a five-story building on the University of Texas campus in Austin that holds classrooms and research laboratories. Its spaces have been modernized and now serve several academic departments.

The building was constructed in 1952 and originally housed the mathematics department. Over time its purpose shifted to accommodate programs in psychological sciences.

Benedict Hall carries the name of Harry Yandell Benedict, a mathematics professor who served as president of the University of Texas from 1914 to 1927. The building opened in 1952 as one of the six structures along the South Mall, and its name keeps a former campus leader attached to the spot where mathematics was first taught here.

The building is part of the campus and can be explored as you walk through the university grounds. It sits alongside similar structures along the South Mall, making it easy to locate within the campus layout.

Benedict Hall is one of the buildings catalogued among the existing structures on the UT Austin campus, which the university groups by current function, placing it with academic facilities. The campus also holds three off-campus apartment complexes, Brackenridge, Colorado and Gateway, about 6 miles (9.7 km) from the main campus.
