On Dec. 1, 2006, The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents authorized

acceptance of a gift of 200 acres on State Highway 47 in Bryan from the City of Bryan for expansion of the

Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC).

The land will be used to expand the Bryan/College Station-based TAMHSC academic units and administration. From the 200 acres, approximately 150 acres will be used as the TAMHSC campus, and the other 50 acres will be for public/private partnerships that will serve the health science center's mission and constituencies.

The new Bryan campus will enhance the visibility, accessibility and future growth of the TAMHSC for generations to come.
