Administrators from the Texas A&M University (TAMU) system, Texas A&M University, and the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) gathered on April 30 break ground for a new veterinary and biomedical sciences education complex. The capital project represents a major expansion for the CVM and will also be one of the largest construction projects on the Texas A&M campus.

“The new facility represents a tremendous opportunity to bring the latest in teaching technology to the CVM and to Texas A&M University,” said Eleanor Green, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, ABVP, the Carl B. King Dean of Veterinary Medicine. “We are very excited that the Board of Regents and the administration of Texas A&M University decided to invest in the future of our college, our faculty, and our students. The impact of having state-of-the-art teaching and clinical facilities will be felt not only by those who receive their education here in the future, but also by those that we serve.”

The new building will house state-of-the-art classroom and teaching laboratory space designed to enhance students' learning environment. Combined with the expansion of the small animal hospital, the new facilities are designed to provide opportunities for innovations in teaching and will nurture collaboration and creativity; In addition, the facilities are expected to be a notable factor in recruiting the best faculty, staff, and students, the college said.

The $120 million needed for completion of both facilities will be funded solely from the Permanent University Fund, which was established in the Texas Constitution of 1876 as a public endowment contributing to the support of the institutions of the Texas A&M and University of Texas Systems
