Physics, Math, and Astronomy Building
Physics, Math, and Astronomy Building[1] (abbreviated PMA; formerly known as Robert Lee Moore Hall or RLM) is a high rise building on the University of Texas at Austin campus, in the U.S. state of Texas. The building was completed in 1972,[2] and houses the astronomy, mathematics, and physics departments,[3][4] as well as the Kuehne Physics Mathematics Astronomy Library.[5][6]
The building was originally named Physics-Mathematics-Astronomy Building (PMA) but was renamed to Robert Lee Moore Hall in 1973, after mathematician Robert Lee Moore.[7] In 2016, students demanded the building be renamed because of Moore's racist treatment of African American students.[8][9] On July 13, 2020, during the George Floyd protests, University Interim President Jay Hartzell announced that the building would be renamed once again to the Physics, Math and Astronomy Building.[10][11][12]
