COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M University has picked Skanska to construct its new Meat Science and Technology Center on the university’s campus in College Station, Texas.
Skanska announced it has signed a contract worth $91 million for the project.
The new 75,000-square-foot facility will be constructed to provide AgriLife, a research and educational agency within the Texas A&M University System, with modern, state-of-the-art processing capabilities, said Skanska. The facility is designed to support the next generation of food safety and nutritional quality research in meat science. It will feature an auditorium, laboratories, training classrooms, seminar spaces and offices designed for graduate students and faculty.
Work is slated to begin in December and is expected to reach completion in January 2028, said Skanska.
