BLINN COLLEGE TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT ON FUTURE LOCATION FOR BRYAN CAMPUS

  

It appears Blinn College may have finally found an acceptable piece of property for their new Bryan/College Station campus location.  The proposed location is at the south corner of the intersection of Leonard Road and FM 2818 in Bryan.  The property is currently owned by KKJM investments.

A special meeting of the Blinn College Board of Trustees has been scheduled for Thursday morning at 9 am in Bryan, to be followed by a Press Conference and Official Announcement.

Doug Borchardt, Blinn College Board President, gives us a few details of the upcoming announcement.

 In 2014, Blinn College attempted to purchase the Lynntech building in College Station, which was offering an existing 180,000 square foot building, along with almost 54 acres at 2501 Earl Rudder Freeway South.

One of the highlights of that potential purchase was that the site already had water and sewage already in place and a building that would have been converted into classroom space, but the decision to purchase the building was dropped after public comments mentioned traffic congestion in the area as well as issues with several large subdivisions behind the site.
