Texas A&M announces plans to build campus in downtown Fort Worth
Texas A&M officials are working with leaders in Fort Worth to build a Texas A&M System Research and Innovation Center in downtown Fort Worth.
The downtown research campus would create a collaboration hub between A&M and notable Fort Worth industries. Professional, technical and university courses would be offered by A&’s School of Law, Tarleton State University, Texas A&M University, the Texas A&M Health Science Center and other alliance members.
The Research and Innovation Center would be built along with a new Education Alliance Building. These two buildings would be built in phases, beginning with the Research and Innovation Center, forming an urban A&M campus that includes a new law school. The A&M System currently owns four blocks of land in downtown Fort Worth.
Plans for the center are to be announced at A&M’s School of Law in Fort Worth this morning. A number of A&M and Fort Worth officials are to be in attendance, including A&M System Chancellor John Sharp, A&M President M. Katherine Banks, Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley.
