The Committee on Facilities Planning and Construction, on behalf of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, has approved construction of the Meat Science and Technology Center at Texas A&M-RELLIS.

The Meat Science and Technology Center, a $114.6 million project, will include a 75,000-square-foot building with modern laboratories, classrooms and a meat processing floor, including beef, poultry, swine, sheep and goat, for hands-on learning.

A groundbreaking for the new center will take place in early 2026.
