The much anticipated construction at the new campus has begun. Texas A&M University-Texarkana is in the process of building a new campus near Bringle Lake on the north side of the city, approximately five miles from the existing campus. The project has been made possible in part by a generous gift of 300 plus acres of land by the City of Texarkana, Texas and funding from the Texas State Legislature.
The general contractor for the project is Walton Construction, based in Shreveport, Louisiana. A temporary construction road has been built providing access to the construction site. The first building currently under construction is the Science & Technology Building. The three level, 42,000 square foot building, will house Bio Science, the proposed Electrical Engineering program and Information Sciences. Construction began in August 2006 with a projected completion date of January 2008. A parking lot, adjacent to the building, is also under construction.
A joint groundbreaking ceremony with Texarkana Independent School District was held Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at the new site of the Martha & Josh Morriss Mathematics & Engineering Elementary School on McKnight Road.
