Bryan Air Force Base - Redevelopment

Redevelopment

A vintage World War II hangar at the Texas A&M Riverside Campus was recently transformed into a state-of-the-art training facility for utility workers in the electric power and telecommunications industry. Classrooms in the new facility include interactive Smart boards, custom-built workbenches and cabinets, built-in audiovisual systems, and automatic lighting.

The runway is also used as an SCCA racetrack.

In 2006, the Texas A&M College of Architecture completed an 8,000-square-foot (700 m2) Built Environment Teaching and Research Facility also known as Architecture Ranch. The building contains a woodshop, a metal shop, and two digital fabrication machines: a CNC Mill and a CNC Plasma Cutter. Architecture Ranch is located on 12 acres (4.9 ha) of the Texas A&M Riverside Campus.

A joint Texas A&M System- University of Texas system low-circulation library will begin construction in June 2012. The facility is designed to hold one million books and eliminate redundancy in the collections of the two university systems.
