texan Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This is to support the new training ship that will arrive in two years. https://www.tamug.edu/newsroom/2021articles/NSMV-Lone-Star-State.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 My nephew went to Texas A&M Galveston but the ship wasn't sea worthy at the time so they had to rent space on California Maritime school's ship or the New England ship for training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 The new Training ship will be an incredible asset to the Texas Maritime Academy and for the whole Gulf Coast. The Maritime Administration (who owns the training vessels) has struggled to find and place a suitable, reliable, training vessel, after the original TS TEXAS CLIPPER was retired. It can be said, that even she was not very reliable...if not obsolete. But, she was a beautiful ship. I spent three summers on her and countless hours maintaining her, traveling as far as Greece on our training cruises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I have an interest in Texas A&M Galveston because my nephew and his now wife both graduated from there and started dating while there. He he is now working for Lindblad/National Geographic Luxury Cruise Line. He started working for them after being laid off from Transocean Drilling when the bottom fell out of the oil market during covid. His ship does cruises in Seattle, Vancouver and Alaska during the summer and transitions to Baja Mexico and Costa Rica during our winter season. https://www.expeditions.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NSMV, the TS Lone Star State will be moored at a new dock on the other side of the boat basin: The new engineering building (I believe starting construction next year), will be located a bit closer to the current engineering buildings (and have a bit bigger footprint) than identified on the master plan: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Engineering Classroom and Research Building (ECRB). This will frame a nice new quad for campus. The site where it's going is a bit oversized for campus. It will be 51,000 sf and will break ground in the Spring. The terrace will be a fantastic touch and is reminiscent of the Zachry Engineering Education Complex in College Station. Makes sense as both buildings serve a similar purpose, but on two different campuses. https://www.tamug.edu/adminaux/ECRB/ECRB.html Additional site plans and information on the first phase of infrastructure for the new dock. This will support the new training ship, the Lone Star State. https://www.tamug.edu/adminaux/SUP/SUP.html Upper Texas Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital and Educational Outreach Center. This is in the fundraising process and has no formal start date yet. It will be located on the west side of Seawolf Parkway. https://www.tamug.edu/SeaTurtleHospital/index.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The new engineering building was approved for construction. Groundbreaking in March. https://news.tamus.edu/regents-approve-258-million-for-new-construction-at-galveston-laredo-san-antonio-and-corpus-christi-campuses/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A site plan, a floorpan, and a render of the Engineering Classroom and Research Building (ECRB). This will really help better define the spaces on that part of campus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
