Southwest Texas State University has entered into a partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to create an aquatic research center—the Texas Rivers Center—at the university’s Aquarena Center. The $16-million facility will focus on public awareness of aquatic ecology and serve as the center for research on protecting and restoring the former Aquarena Springs resort property’s archaeology and history. Construction is slated to start in summer 2001.
