$43.3M STEM Education Center breaks ground at RELLIS campus

​BRYAN – The Texas A&M University System has broken ground on the new $43.3 million STEM Education Center at the RELLIS campus.

The 50,000-sf building will have spaces designated for work on machines, woodshop, digi​tal projects, 3D printing, and augmented reality work. The first floor will be primarily for students and university industry partners to work on large projects, allowing in-depth collaborations.​

All A&M System universities and eight state agencies will have a space in the new building as the second and third floors are designed to have suite spaces. A&M’s Semiconductor Institute will be housed in the building until its own building opens in 2027.

The project is funded through Capital Construction Assistance Projects, a $3.3 billion fund allocated for higher education projects throughout Texas.

The building is expected to be open for the fall 2025 semester.
