The Texas A&M system board of regents approved three construction projects with a combined value of $87 million dollars during last week’s meeting.
Two of the projects are on the RELLIS campus.
$14 million is to extend utilities for the U.S. Army’s combat development center. And $3.5 million is going into the system’s hypersonic vehicle testing complex at ballistics, aero-optics, and materials…or BAM center.
The largest project approved by the regents was for Prairie View, where construction starts next month on a $70 million dollar college of engineering classroom and research building.
The system’s chief facilities officer, Russ Wallace, also answered questions about the prices of construction materials.
