University Junior High School (now the School of Social Work Building) is a historic former secondary school on the University of Texas at Austin campus in Austin, Texas. Opened in 1933 as a joint project between the university and the Austin Independent School District, the school served both as a public junior high school and as a laboratory school for the university's Department of Education until 1967, when the school was closed and the facility turned over to UT. The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
Today, the building houses the university's Steve Hicks School of Social Work. It formerly housed the UT Child Development Center, which relocated after breaking ground on a new facility in 2021.[2][3]
The Steve Hicks School of Social Work will move in May 2024 and the building is slated for demolition.[4][3]
