Texas A&M expands meat center on campus 

The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved a $133.36 million investment in a new Meat Science & Technology Center, moving the project to West Campus and adding $18.76 million to its budget.  

Previously planned for the RELLIS campus, the facility will anchor a future agriculture district along Finfeather Road in College Station, TX. 

Board Chairman Robert Albritton said the location places the program at the center of the university’s mission and industry impact. Chancellor Glenn Hegar emphasized its role in preparing future leaders.  

The 85,600-square-foot center will support teaching, research and industry engagement in meat and poultry science, with construction expected to be completed in 2028.
