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.
