Physics, Math, and Astronomy Building, Academic department building at University of Texas, Austin, United States
The Physics, Math, and Astronomy Building is an academic structure at the University of Texas in Austin that houses three departments. The facility contains multiple floors with lecture halls, research laboratories, and study spaces for students.
The building opened in 1972 and was named Robert Lee Moore Hall from 1973 until 2020. The return to its original name in 2020 marked a deliberate decision regarding its historical identity.
The departments of astronomy, mathematics, and physics conduct their research and teaching within this building. The Kuehne Physics Mathematics Astronomy Library provides extensive resources to support the scholarly work.
Access to the building is available to university members and visitors, with various floors offering specialized facilities and common areas. A coffee shop is also located within the structure, providing a spot for students to rest between activities.
The building's name was changed in 2020 following student protests regarding the historical actions of mathematician Robert Lee Moore toward African American students. This change reflects ongoing discussions about historical accountability and the reassessment of names across campus.
