The board authorized the purchase of furniture and audio-visual equipment for the $31 million facility that is currently under construction on the north side of the Bryan Campus, at the intersection of Nash Street and Villa Maria Road.
The 46,000-square-foot facility will include administrative space, prospective student relations, business services, human resources, and a meeting room with capacity for up to 300 people.
The building creates a new campus entry that connects the administration building to the rest of campus. Site amenities include a monument sign, circle entry drive and plaza with parking for approximately 10 visitors, pedestrian walkways, and a 180-space parking lot located behind the building.
The project is scheduled for completion in February 2025. At that time, Blinn will move out of its current student services location at the Tejas Center in Bryan to bring all services at that location to the Bryan Campus.
In other business, trustees received a report from Kelly Templin, Texas A&M University System Director of Texas A&M-RELLIS, regarding the growth and development on the campus. The board also authorized the College to negotiate and execute a private utility easement agreement with Cebridge Acquisition, L.P., a subsidiary of Altice USA, Inc., on the Bryan Campus.
