T A&M/Corpus Christi Campus Building $80M Arts Building

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will soon start constructing a new arts and media building. The facility will stand two stories, and cover 85,000 square feet. It was designed by BGK Architects and Bora Architects. The first phase of the project will cost an estimated $81 million and is scheduled to open in spring 2026.

The A&M-Corpus Christi facility will house undergraduate and graduate programs within the School of Arts, Media and Communication.

“We’ve had tremendous growth and success in our arts programs,” Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi President Kelly Miller said.

The project will include a 325-seat proscenium theater performance space, a 200-seat recital hall, a black box theater and a dance studio, as well as rehearsal halls and theater labs for instruction in costume construction and makeup.

The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved the project Thursday, also approving new facilities in Galveston, Laredo and San Antonio.
