Texas A&M University is constructing the $49.9 million Nursing Education and Research Building in McAllen. Designed by Page, the three-story, 61,000-sf facility will address a crucial need for skilled healthcare professionals by improving access to learning opportunities in the Rio Grande Valley. The flexible, technology-enabled structure will provide a 10,000-sf clinical simulation center, four nursing classrooms, and areas for informal interaction and study. Housing 5,600 sf of dedicated space for the School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the development will also include a veterinary clinic, as well as a research lab for the study of infectious and zoonotic diseases.
The project team includes Vaughn Construction and Gessner Engineering. Slated for occupancy in spring of 2026, the Nursing Education and Research Building will be the second facility at Texas A&M's Higher Education Center in McAllen, where it will join a 67,300-sf structure that opened in 2018.
