San Pedro II

UTSA is working to expand its nationally-ranked business education programs and programming centered in a new state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary university building located in downtown San Antonio. This initiative leverages the broad needs and opportunities that exist in San Antonio, allowing UTSA to meet San Antonio’s escalating workforce needs, facilitate connecting UTSA students with experiential learning and career-engagement opportunities, and address the university's current and future academic space shortage.

UTSA is working to expand interdisciplinary and collaborative programs in business, engineering and sciences centered in a new state-of-the-art university building located in the heart of San Antonio’s downtown business community, now called San Pedro II.

In October 2023, UTSA broke ground on the new building that was designed and constructed through the partnership of Overland|Gensler and Turner Construction. San Pedro II is expected to be 180,000 square feet with a total project cost of $131 million. With a focus on indoor/outdoor connections and reconfigurable spaces for multipurpose use, the building will be designed with innovation and adaptability in mind to serve UTSA students, faculty and staff downtown for decades to come. Construction on the new building is expected to be completed in October 2025, with the building opening for students in January 2026.

This initiative leverages the broad needs and opportunities that exist in San Antonio, allowing UTSA to better meet San Antonio’s escalating workforce needs, expand partnerships with the city’s employers, facilitate connecting UTSA students with career-engagement opportunities, and address the university’s current and future academic space shortage.
