show moreBlinn College's board of trustees took a deep dive at their monthly meeting on Tuesday (May 21) into the construction that continues at the new Bryan campus administration and student services building.
Trustees were told construction of the $31 million dollar building at Villa Maria and Nash is under budget and still on track to open in February of 2025.
The 46,000-square-foot facility will include administrative space, prospective student relations, business services, human resources, and a large meeting room with capacity for up to 300 people.
Upon completion, Blinn will move out of its current student services location at the Tejas Center in Bryan to bring all services at that location to the Bryan Campus.
The project creates a new campus entry that connects the Administration Building to the rest of campus. Site amenities include a monument sign, circle entry drive and plaza with parking for approximately 10 visitors, pedestrian walkways, and a 180-space parking lot located behind the building.
Following the presentation by assistant vice chancellor of facilities Mark Feldhake, he fielded questions where the majority was about the green space behind the new building. Feldhake said there were no immediate plans to develop that portion of the property.
Chancellor Mary Hensley, who says she comes to Bryan from Brenham two or three times a week, has received positive feedback from members of Blinn's Bryan advisory committee and local community members.
After the presentation, trustees approved more than $1.2 million dollars of purchases for the new building. $770,450 is furniture and $492,500 is for audio-visual equipment.
