Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approve start of $352M in renovation projects
The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents on Thursday gave the green light to the flagship campus in College Station to begin $352 million worth of renovation projects.
A series of construction projects to three prominent areas on campus will kick off this month with a $168 million renovation to the Zachry Engineering Center that will transform the 43-year-old building into the Engineering Education Complex. Beginning in March, the Corps of Cadets dorms will receive a $135 million revamp and the Commons Building will receive $49 million worth of improvements.
Regents commended Dwight Look College of Engineering Dean Katherine Banks for her leadership on the Engineering Education Complex project following a unanimous vote of approval.
"You're the envy of every school in the nation," Regent Jim Schwertner said. "I don't know how you pulled this off but I think this is one of the greatest projects that we've ever done at A&M and I'm very proud of you."
