I When the Texas Legislature pro- _
Led state university budget cuts
it year, there was concern that the
cuts would affect construction on
university campuses. But construc
tion on tne Texas A&M campus was
not affected as evidenced by almost a
(to/en projects currently under con
struction, says Daniel T. Whitt, assis
tant director for facilities planning
ahd construction.
■ Some projects have been com
pleted and others are scheduled to
be completed by July 1980, Whitt
ays.
I • This month, the physiology re
search and conditioning lab will be
Bmpleted, Whitt says. The $2.2 mil-
Hbn structure, located at the south
end of Kyle Field, will have weight
Raining facilities that will be used by
||)oth the athletic and physical educa-
nn departments. The lab also will
Rtuse physical education research,
he savs.
I • The construction of the track
[.and Held events center and the phys-
Hcal education and intramural play-
Hg fields should be completed this
month, but not later than next
month, Whitt says. The total project
cost for both projects is $3.3 million,
he says.
• Also to be completed next
month is the $6.6 million research
park infrastructure, Whitt says. The
Tbtal park area is 300 acres, bor
dered on the north side by Univer
sity Drive and on the west side by the
West Bypass. Whitt emphasizes that
since tins is an infrastructure, no
buildings exist yet.
| At this point the project involves
landscaping, streets, sidewalks, light
ing and utilities.

Shown is the frame of the Association of Former
Students building at the corner of Jersey and
Houston Streets. This building is not being
funded by the University
March 1986 is the Engineering/Phy
sics Building on Spence Street. The
$18.8 million project will house the
physics department and, in part, the
mechanical engineering depart
ment.
• A new Poultry Science Center,
an estimated $4.8 million project,
also is scheduled for completion in
March 1986.
• The Forest Science Building is
currently undergoing renovation.
The renovation win cost about
$500,000 and should be finished by
March 1986, Whitt says.
• The west campus landscape de
velopment, to be finished in May
198o, will cost almost $ 1 million.
The project involves improved
lighting and landscaping in the area
along Welborn Road across from the
Albritton Tower and extending back
to the Horticulture Forestry Sciences
Building.
• The new chemistry building on
Ross Street will cost almost $18 mil
lion and should be finished in luly
1986.
“I might add that that’s opti
mistic,” Whitt says.
• The $5.5 million Ocean Dril
ling Program facility will be built in
the new research park, Whitt says.
Completion of the ouilding is sched
uled for July 1986.
• Construction recently began on
the new Civil Engineering/Texas
Transportation Institute building.
The $14.8 million project should be
finished by Septemoer 1987.
At a September meeting of the
Texas A&M Board of Regents, a
$6.9 million contract was awarded
for the construction of a new Physi
cal Plant facility.
Construction is just beginning on
the building to be located on West
Campus, Whitt says.
This month, Whitt says a contract
award will be considered by the re
gents for a $2.3 million enlargement
of the A.P. Beutel Health Center.
A new systems administration
building has been designed, Whitt
says, but construction has been put
on indefinite hold.
It was decided that the building,
an estimated $7.5 million project,
does not have high the priority to
justify immediate construction,
Whitt says.
Plans for a $40 million special
events center still are being made,
Whitt says.
“And that’s the problem,” he says.
“That’s a lot of money.”
Whitt says some of the Universi
ty’s administration have visited
schools that are currently building
special events centers and some that
have recently completed construc
tion.
“They are looking at design fea
tures and comparing the costs of
other centers with A&M’s estimate,”
he says.
