!'
Research Annex
Abandoned facilities now asset
The Texas A&M Research An
nex, nine years old, is classic
proof that a major disappoint
ment can be converted into an
area, state and national asset.
The establishment of the Annex
in 1961 proved to be an ingenious
move toward trying to alleviate
the economic crisis accompanying
the 1968 closing of the Bryan Air
Base and A&M President A. R.
Luedecks pointed out the uni
versity’s increasing need for addi
tional space in order to expand its
programs.
Old-timers will recall that the
Air Force graduated its last class
in June of 1958 and soon there
after left the base to a caretaker
crew of 18 men, who were respon
sible for maintenance, security,
and fire protection. Texas A&M
received control of the installation
from the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare in May,
1961, and there has been no indi
cation of regret from any quarter.
Luedecke said Texas A&M uses
the 1,991-acre facility to augment
all aspects of its total program—
teaching, research, and extension.
Thirty-eight activity units of
various colleges and departments
within the university utilize the
well-kept buildings and land
areas. The additional space for
research activities, classrooms,
laboratories, and storge has been
vital to continued growth and
improvement.
The economic contribution to
the community is equally note
worthy. The Annex provides full
time jobs for more than 200 per
sons. The equivalent of 60 full
time jobs is added by part-time
student employment. Salaries and
expenditures for supplies and
materials represent an annual
$2.2 million boost to the local
economy.
In addition, the students en
rolled in special classes conducted
at the former air base represent
considerable buying power. Aver
age enrollment in these classes is
85 to 100.
Thompson receives
teaching award
Herbert G. Thompson, associate
professor of marketing at Texas
A&M, was awarded the College
of Business Administration Out
standing Teaching Award for
1969-70 during the college’s an
nual spring faculty banquet this
week.
Dean John E. Pearson pre
sented the award, noting Thomp
sons outstanding record as a
teacher since joining the Texas
A&M faculty in 1951.
Honored with retirement
plaques were business faculty
members Williams E. (Bill)
Eckles, assistant dean and direc
tor of the Executive Development
Programs, and Edward S. Packen-
ham, professor of accounting.
Thompson, a native of Ohio,
received B.S. and M.B.A. degrees
from Miami University of Ohio.
He came to Texas A&M from
Western Michigan University.
Because of a well-planned pro
gram of building modification and
routine maintenance what might
have been a ghost camp or an
open pasture is a complex of use
ful facilities. While approximately
100 buildings have been removed,
more than 100 remain, and these
are in excellent condition. Main
tenance and operations superin
tendent John Martine heads a 47-
man department responsible for
this improvement.
A number of University activ
ities make extensive use of the
property. The Texas Transporta
tion Institute uses buildings, land,
runways, taxi strips, and parking
aprons in conjunction with its
nationally recognized research
programs in such areas as high
way materials, pavement design,
highway illumination, structural
research, and safety.
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station facilities include labora
tories for research in proteins for
human food, energy and propul
sion, flight mechanics, gas dyna
mics, propeller performance, rock
et testing, testing of air moving

College of Agriculture usage
includes activities in agricultural
education, agricultural extension,
animal science, range science, soil
sampling, wildlife science, and

The College of Veterinary Med
icine uses buildings and pasture-
land for laboratory teaching and
research in a number of areas.
Major users from the College of
Engineering include the Nuclear
Engineering Department and the
Electric Power Institute. The
Colleges of Sciences and Geo
sciences also make effective use
of the facility.
The Texas Engineering Exten
sion Service operates its schools
for civil defense training, electric
and telephone training, and police
training and its Institute of Elec
tronic Science at the Annex.
The Bryan-College Station area
can justly be proud of the Texas
A&M Research Annex. Its eco
nomic impact on the area is sig
nificant.
