The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved an expanded $133.36 million investment in a new Meat Sciences & Technology Center, keeping the facility on the main campus and positioning it as the anchor of a future agriculture district.
The investment adds $18.76 million to the previously approved project and shifts its trajectory by moving it from a planned site at Texas A&M–RELLIS to West Campus, where it will be built along Finfeather Road and integrated into the university’s long range development plan. The board’s action amends the A&M System’s capital plan, increases the project budget and approves additional construction tied to the new location and supporting infrastructure.
