Southwest Texas State Plans Multi-Institutional Teaching Center

AUSTIN, TEXAS -
Southwest Texas State University is gathering proposals for the Multi-Institutional Teaching Center to be shared with Temple College's Taylor Center and Austin Community College. The campus would initially include an academic building and parking, with future expansion totalling up to 117,000-sf upon completion; 25,000-sf could be dropped if engineering and technology courses are not included in the Center's curriculum. Current proposal options, due February 1, include a start on undeveloped land,  new construction, or adaptation of an existing site. State lawmakers will evaluate funding in 2003 for the Center, which is currently housed in portable buildings.
