Quotes from the building's dedication

“The kind of fortitude that gave our founders the confidence to create the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest—the academic institution that later became UT Dallas—is the same kind of fortitude that has guided Mr. Perot in his many successful endeavors.”

  — UT Dallas President Dr. David E. Daniel
