Bright Star Memorial
The Bright Star Memorial on The University of Texas Permian Basin’s campus will be temporarily closed to the public starting November 12, 2024, to allow for additional construction elements and landscaping enhancements.

These updates are intended to enrich the Memorial’s appearance and ensure a lasting and impactful experience for all visitors.

 The Memorial will reopen briefly from November 25 through December 1, 2024, to provide families and visitors an opportunity to enjoy the plaza over the Thanksgiving holiday. Following this period, the Bright Star Memorial will close once again from December 2 to early January 2025 to finalize the remaining construction and landscape details.

 UTPB appreciates the community’s patience and support as we complete the enhancements to the Bright Star Memorial. We look forward to re-opening in early 2025 and providing a meaningful space for reflection and connection for years to come.
