Yeah, I know it won't. But, I've always thought it was kind of strange that two of the 11 (or 13) A&M system schools don't have the words "Texas A&M" in their name. Texas A&M University Texas A&M University at Galveston Texas A&M University at Qatar Texas A&M University

I always thought they should change the name to Texas A&M - Prairie View, but I don't think that will ever happen. I guess the building looks a little better from other angles:

Athletics funding is separate from academic funding.

Sounds like they are trying to get in the game before Bridgeland can get there stuff together.

Traffic is really not that bad if you don't have to go that far into town. I work off Westheimer and the Beltway and can get there in a little over 30 min from Cypress. Not too bad.

I can't believe it's been so long. I started this thread in 2004

Interesting. Were their plans to match the architecture of the Academic Building? Were they going to put a building on each side or just one big one one side? Or was anything that specific ever discussed? The new location will be better in keeping everything together. I liked the idea presented in the campus master plan where parking garages with an facade matching the Administration building flanked it's sides. Maybe they will still do that one day. I just hope a lot of thought goes into the architecture of such a large building, I'm still not sure what to think of this one:

It'll be the first major building east of Bizzell, so it'll look out of place - but where else could you put it? The engineering area is full with the exception of the area between TTI and Zachry, the land north of Zachry, and the land east of CE. All of those areas are too small for a building of this magnitude now that the campus master plan limits buildings to 4 stories. Those "Alternative Locations" are absolutely horrible though. The latest I've heard was that they would build parking garages that would have the same architecture as the Jack K. Williams Administration Building in those spots. They should stick with that idea. Notice though, that the description of the location in the article doesn't match up with the picture they show (picture shows across from Wisenbaker, not Zachry). I wonder which one is correct.

Sorry, I cleared my directory and away went those pdfs. I'll have to find them again. Mr. Football, I'm guessing you got those from texags (unless my link spread quicker than I thought). Are you cypressag over there?

Are you talking about this area, between Chasewood Park and Cypress Creek?:

I just wonder why they call it "North Cypress" when it's really in South Cypress.

It was on the Aggieland forum. http://texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?top...amp;forum_id=35

Yup. http://tamusystem.tamu.edu/overview/

I bet you're right.

Why does your version say "290 and Barker Cypress" while the one on chron.com and in the paper itself says "Texas 249 and Louetta"? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nb/spr...ws/4059185.html

Are you sure? It's not on the UTC map.
