Swimming Pool Renovations

The Galveston swimming pool was originally built in 1977 and, along with Oceans and Hullabaloo Halls (formerly A and B Dorm), started the development of the northern part of the campus.  In its original construction, the 25 meter swimming pool had 6 lanes, 1 meter and 3 meter diving boards, was 4 feet deep at its shallowest and 12 feet deep at its deepest.  Read more about Swimming Pool Renovations 

Infrastructure, Dock Improvements and Ship FF&E – Phase 1 (Utility Plant Expansion)

Serving as the “ocean-oriented campus” of Texas A&M University at College Station, the Galveston campus mission is to provide special-purpose education in marine and maritime studies and research and public service related to the general field of marine resources. Established in 1971, the campus on Pelican Island is more than 50 years old. While the above ground expansion -- in the form of new facilities -- has kept pace with campus growth, the campus underground utility lines and utility generation capacity have not kept up as well both in size and maintenance. As the campus prepares for the next 50 years, the campus proposes to complete utility and infrastructure projects to properly support the educational and research mission of the institution.

Engineering Classroom and Research Building (ECRB)

Currently, the College of Engineering has two functioning programs on the Galveston campus. These include freshman engineering (EASA/ENGE) and Ocean Engineering (OCEN). The programs reside in the Powell Marine Engineering Complex and share the space with Galveston’s Marine Engineering Technology program. As these programs grow and the College of Engineering adds additional programs to the Galveston campus, there is a need for additional space in the form of the Engineering Classroom & Research Building (ECRB).
