The Main Building of The University of Texas at Austin is a structure at the center of the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas that houses the university's administrative offices. The Main Building's 307-foot (93 metre) tower, often referred to as "The Tower", has 27-floors and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the University.

Wren Library-The room south of the Exhibition Room once housed the Wren Library, a collection of six thousand rare books. This room was first installed in the old library building (Battle Hall) and later the entire room and the books were transferred to the fourth floor of the new Main Building. The woodwork is walnut; the metal work of wrought iron and the light bowls are of alabaster. The woodcarving above the door was carved by Peter Mansbendel, a prominent Swiss woodcarver that lived in Austin. The wood ceiling is painted with three groups of designs illustrating the development of printing, the history of dress, and the coat of arms of famous universities. The stained glass windows depict the coat of arms of English Colleges
