Texas A&M University- Texarkana is preparing to break ground on a new $45 million academic building to house the university’s growing business, engineering, and technology programs. Funding for the new construction was provided by the Texas Legislature during the 87th Legislative session in 2021.
The new three-story building will be just over 50,000 square feet in size and will be situated on the southwest side of the university campus. The new building will connect to the existing Science and Technology Building via walkways on the second and third floors.
The building, designed to support growing demand for degrees in business and technology-related fields, will house the Center for Financial Literacy and Investment, numerous laboratories for mechanical engineering and design, and will include a 225-seat lecture hall/auditorium to support large lectures and other events. In addition to the new building, the project also provides updates to existing spaces in the current Science and Technology Building, most notably the laboratories used by the electrical engineering program.
