Batts Hall (abbreviated BAT) is a building on the South Mall of the University of Texas at Austin campus in Austin, Texas, United States. The five-floor, 39,143-square-foot structure is named after Robert Lynn Batts.[1]
The building was constructed during 1952–1953, and named after former law professor and Board of Regents chairman Robert Lynn Batts.[2] It was dedicated "to the study and teaching of modern foreign languages that men may understand one another".[3] Dr. Robert Haden Williams, a professor of Romance languages, helped plan and design the structure.[4]
In 1965, Harry H. Ransom delivered his "State of the University" speech in Batts' auditorium, launching the 'Texas Today and Tomorrow' series' fourth annual convocation.[5] The building housed the Departments of Germanic, Romantic and Slavic Languages, as of 1973.[6]
