Texas A&M-San Antonio engineers $74M expansion

SAN ANTONIO – Texas A&M University-San Antonio is going to be expanding its campus and its academic programs in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) focused arena.

Texas A&M-San Antonio’s requests for $11 million for downward expansion of its campus and $63 million in tuition revenue bonds for a STEM-focused building were approved.

“This legislative funding is indeed a ‘game-changer’ for the collective future of the Texas A&M-SA and for generations of students to come,” said Texas A&M-San Antonio President Cynthia Teniente-Matson.

The university will welcome its first lower-division class in fall 2016.
