Texas A&M Investing $300M in FW Innovation District

The Board of Regents of The Texas A&M University System approved a package of investments aimed at expanding research, supporting student growth and preserving historic campus infrastructure across Texas, including a major new phase of development for the Texas A&M-Fort Worth campus.

Among the most significant approvals was approximately $300 million for a second academic and research building tied to the Texas A&M-Fort Worth campus, further expanding the university system’s innovation district in downtown Fort Worth. The project is intended to strengthen the district as a center for research, workforce development and industry collaboration in one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions.

The district is envisioned as a mixed-use hub where academic research, private industry and entrepreneurship converge to drive economic development and attract high-paying jobs.

A separate $30 million restoration project for Texas A&M University’s historic Academic Building in College Station also received approval.
