The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents have announced plans for a new veterinary building for West Texas A&M’s Agricultural Sciences Complex.

The $22.8 million dollar project will be for veterinary education, research and work opportunities in the Texas Panhandle.

The center will be built next to WTAMU's new Agricultural Sciences Complex and a new WTAMU Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory that is currently being relocated.

The center is scheduled to be completed in 2020.
