About

The UT Austin Disability Cultural Center (DCC) is the first of its kind in Texas.

As the hub on campus for disability community, education and advocacy, the DCC provides a space where disability is respected, valued and celebrated as an important part of our campus community, Whether you’re looking for community, attending an event, learning about disability culture, exploring disability art and culture or need a quiet place to read or study, the DCC is for you 

Located in the Student Services Building (SSB), 100 West Dean Keeton Street, Suite 2.106, the DCC suite contains a lounge area for studying and socializing, the DCC library, a rotating art exhibit, staff offices and a conference room for hosting trainings, programs and events. All members of our campus community are welcome to come visit or use the DCC space!
