# ACES Building
**Domain:** Austin Research / Infrastructure
**Doc Type:** Research entity
**Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope.
**ACES**, the Applied Computational Engineering and Sciences building, is the physical home associated with UT’s interdisciplinary computational-science expansion and the later [[wiki/Peter O’Donnell Jr.|Peter O’Donnell]] naming. It gives the Oden lineage a shared institutional setting for mathematics, engineering, science, and graduate research.
The corpus describes its completion in 2000 and renaming in 2013. The construction-start date needs care: the supporting articles say 1997, while Oden’s current history places construction under its 1999 entry. These records have not been reconciled.
ACES is a building and institutional setting; ICES was the institute’s former name. Keeping them distinct prevents the research institute, physical facility, and UARC structure from collapsing into one entity.
