Texas A&M University System Board of Regents in the US has approved a $120m expansion and renovation of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM).
The expansion will create a new classroom building for the vet school and expand its small animal hospital to enhance the learning environment for students.
Texas A&M University president Bowen Loftin said: "Our goal is to build a premier teaching and research facility that complements our world-class faculty in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the far-ranging impact they have on both animal and human health."
"At this point, the building will be one of the largest construction projects in the history of the university, which speaks volumes about the importance veterinary medicine plays in our state’s economy, as well as in our daily lives," Loftin said.
