Charles Butt’s $100 million legacy gift to Texas public education, which will be used to establish the Holdsworth Center for Excellence in Education Leadership, took a small step toward realization on Thursday, when Austin City Council saw conceptual drawings of the proposed site.
Lake|Flato architects provided concept illustrations of the proposed 44-acre campus along Lake Austin just east of the Austin 360 Bridge. The freestanding buildings and ample trees along the waterway gently fit into the residential area while accomplishing the Center’s vision.
