ACC announces new U District mural

American Campus Communities announced that, in partnership with local nonprofit Urban Artworks, that it's adding a new mural to its Hub U-District building at 5000 University Way N.E. The unveiling was yesterday for the famous frog-like “Jeremiah the Innocent” image created by the late artist and musician Daniel Johnston (1961-2019). The drawing was originally the album cover for his 1983 recording, “Hi, How Are You: The Unfinished Album.” ACC also owns an Austin building graced with another such mural. Yesterday's event was part of National Mental Health Awareness Month and Hi, How Are You Day, when friends are supposed to check on one another's mental health. ACC bought the 111-unit, 248-bed Hub U District three years ago as part of a larger portfolio deal. It's currently planning two towers with 224 units on the nearby site of Temple United Methodist Church, which will sell that corner property but later return to a new space in the building.
