Scotch Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Making progress for future RELLIS campus Quote Officials are preparing to begin several new construction projects at the 2,000-acre site. A&M System officials said many of structures targeted for demolition on the 2,000-acre campus are "decaying warehouses" that will be replaced with academic and research and development facilities over the next few years. Not all of the older structures on the campus are set to be torn down, however. Officials said facilities such as the chapel, flight tower, hangers and water tower that remain from the campus' days as the former Bryan Air Base will be preserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Blinn College, Texas A&M celebrate RELLIS Campus groundbreaking Quote In May 2016, Chancellor Sharp announced plans to create a new research and development campus to help companies move ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace, while also offering a new path toward a college degree. One aspect of the RELLIS Campus plan involves the development of a multi-institutional Gateway Education Center that will provide space for Texas A&M System member institutions and Blinn to offer a variety of curricula. “This relationship between The Texas A&M University System and Blinn College is literally the envy of community colleges and universities all over the United States of America,” Sharp said. “This is how you make sure that students take courses that transfer – you talk to each other, and that is what these two institutions have been doing for 30 or 40 years.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I figured the Aggies on here may be interested in hearing about what's going on at the RELLIS campus, one of the Texas A&M University System's most exciting current projects. The RELLIS Campus is the redeveloped Riverside Campus (before that it was the Research Annex and before that it was the Bryan Army Airfield). Today, it is home to a growing number of state research, training, and response agencies, research centers, and educational buildings. The innovative aspect of the education portion of it is that it is essentially a multi-institutional university. The first two years of classes are taken at Blinn with the degree-specific classes being taken at a university with a presence on the campus. Currently, every university in the A&M System except for A&M-College Station offers degrees at the RELLIS Campus. SFA also offers degrees there.
