Love Jack Gets New Home

The Love Jack sculpture, which has had a few homes on the UT Dallas campus over the years, was recently moved from the courtyard at the Edith O’Donnell Arts and Technology Building to a spot on the Margaret McDermott Mall near Texas Instruments Plaza. Student Government advocated for its relocation so that more students could enjoy the view. Gifted to the University in 1976 by Margaret McDermott, longtime champion of UT Dallas and wife of co-founder Eugene McDermott, the 10-foot-by-10-foot red, steel sculpture of a playing jack was created by Texas artist Jim Love.
