It’s almost as if Texas A&M
University were building a whole
new campus.
Sure, the old landmarks—the
classically designed System Ad
ministration Building, along with
the Academic Building, Sbisa
Hall and several other vintage
structures — still dominate the
5,200-acre campus of the state’s
first public institution of higher
learning. But gleaming new
buildings, housing some of the
most sophisticated research in
stallations in the nation, now
share the spotlight.
The university currently has
construction projects totaling
more than $25 million underway
and several others in the plan
ning stage. In addition to its
main-campus projects, the uni
versity is building a whole new
campus at Galveston for its Tex
as Maritime Academy and vari
ous oceanographic and marine-
related activities.
Texas A&M’s College Station
campus—largest in the nation—
presently includes over 100 build
ings and is valued at $125 mil
lion.
Among the newer engineering
and scientific installations are
the Cyclotron — a giant “atom
smasher” — and the Olin E.
Teague Research Center. The
Teague Center houses the uni
versity’s Space Technology Divi
sion, Activation Analysis Re
search Laboratory, Graduate In
stitute of Statistics and Data
Processing Center.
The best superlatives could be
reserved for three buildings un
der construction and a complex
now in the final stages of plan
ning. These are the new Engi
neering Center, Oceanography-
Meteorology Building, a 1,000-
student residence hall and a
major addition to the Memorial
Student Center, including the
adjacent construction of a new
auditorium and continuing edu
cation complex.
The 15 - story Oceanography-
Meteorology Building will be the
campus’ first high-rise structure
—and the second-tallest building
between Dallas and Houston.
Topped by a radar system with a
400-mile range, the facility will
include 121 highly specialized
laboratories.
A second high-rise structure
is planned as part of the pro
posed Memorial Student Center
expansion. Adjacent to the new
addition will be a three-audito
rium complex, replacing the
present Guion Hall.
In addition to the new build
ings, the campus grounds have
taken on a new look. A large
mall now extends through the
heart of the campus, enhancing
the academic environment. A
large section of the south side
of the campus has been trans
formed into a floral test garden
featuring seasonal changes of
1,000 varieties of outdoor flow
ers. Extensive landscapng also
is underway at various other
parts of the campus.
