Feel free to add new aggy content for us to make fun of. By all means, please, be my guest.

 

They're going to do to Tarleton what they did to Texas A&I. Or they trying to copy UT-Dallas?

The new Texas A&M-Fort Worth campus could eventually have five buildings, according to a rendering the university recently posted on its website.

One building, for the law school, is under construction now. Texas A&M is doing design work on a second building for research programs, and has previously announced a third “gateway” building.

The rendering posted online shows a possible “Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts Building” along East Lancaster Avenue, and a second research building. Those projects are part of the university’s long-range plans for the campus. There is not a public timeline.

The property where the performance, visualization and fine arts building is shown in the rendering is vacant land. The Fort Worth campus will house an extension of A&M’s Visual Production Institute, a high tech center that will teach students to use cutting edge filmmaking and graphics technology. Fort Worth is working to become a hub for film production.

Included in plans when the campus was initially announced, the Gateway Building will serve as a doorway to the new campus. It’s expected to be built at the site of the existing Texas A&M School of Law, once the first research and innovation building is complete.

Designs for any of the buildings would need to be approved by the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. Planning for the Fort Worth campus is ongoing, and newer iterations of renderings have differed from those released when the campus was announced.

The new campus is expected to be transformational for Fort Worth, developing a languishing corridor of downtown into an engine for economic growth that will likely create jobs and attract new companies to the area.

Ground has yet to break on the first Research and Innovation Building, which could cost up to $260 million. A utility-related, pre-development permit for the project was filed with the city in February. The building will house offices and labs for a number of Texas state agencies.

Companies including aerospace giant Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and eyecare maker Alcon are expected to collaborate with the new campus to design curriculum that will prepare students for the workforce.

The campus’ first structure, the Law and Education Building, is expected to be complete in summer 2026. The $180 million building broke ground in June 2023.

They need more warm bodies to charge fees to in order to keep paying off the vig on their athletic department loans.

I would assume people who live in and around Victoria, or those who just don't want to see aggie bullshit spreading anymore than it already has.

aggy just needs to take Corpus, Kingsville and Victoria and just merge them into one regional institution “aggy gulf coast” or whatever. They can’t do much worse than UH.
