Texas A&M's downtown Fort Worth campus will comprise three buildings, anchored by the existing law school, which will be torn down and rebuilt.
Downtown Fort Worth is about to get a big "whoop"-ing.
The Texas A&M University System announced Wednesday that it plans to expand in Fort Worth with a three-building research campus anchored by the existing School of Law at 1515 Commerce St. The law school building will get torn down and rebuilt, while two new developments — the Texas A&M System Research and Innovation Center, and Education Alliance Building — will stand along Jones Street on what's currently a parking lot.
The System owns four blocks in the area, and the City of Fort Worth has nearby property that could also become available.
Representatives of the A&M System, the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and economic development nonprofit Fort Worth Now signed a memorandum outlining plans for the campus last week.
