Texas A&M University at Galveston in Galveston, Texas, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the construction of a new Engineering Classroom and Research Building. The university is partnering with Turner Construction Company for the project’s construction, which has an estimated completion date of fall 2025.

The new facility will cover a total of 54,000 square feet and stand three stories. It will house seven university departments and serve as the new home for engineering students, according to a news release. Amenities will include engineering-themed active learning spaces, research lab space for faculty, group study and collaboration areas, and a maker space, as well as conference rooms and administrative space.

“We are thrilled to begin work on a building that will improve the education of engineering students at the University,” said Turner Construction Company Vice President and General Manager Andy Tandon. “We are looking forward to working with our design partner Page and the Galveston community as we bring this innovative project to life.”
