Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp was in North Texas today to welcome people to what will become A&M's downtown Fort Worth campus.
Texas A&M says the campus will offer programs in emergency response communications, medical technologies, advanced manufacturing and others.
John Goff, the co-chairman of Fort Worth Now, says having a Tier One university of A&M's caliber is going to transform the city.
There will be two buildings that will go up just east of the current A&M School of Law building. When they are completed, that law building will be torn down to make way for a third building.
A memorandum outlining the aspirations for the Texas A&M System’s Urban Campus in Fort Worth was signed last week by representatives of the A&M System, the city, Tarrant County and Fort Worth Now, a privately-funded group formed to help businesses and economic growth in aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
