After receiving an 80-acre gift from the Walton Group, Tarleton State University announced recently that it would be building a new campus next to the Chisholm Trail Parkway near downtown Fort Worth.
Set to open in the fall of 2017, the new development will offer classes to around 5,000 students and would be the only public university in the city offering a bachelor's degree.
Tarleton State University plans to ask for $55 million in state funding for the 125,000-square-foot building that will house classrooms and administration offices. That is just one of several buildings planned for the campus. -FWTX Staff
