Tarleton State University’s new Research and Economic Development Building officially opened with a ribbon cutting and open house today.
The university will share the state-of-the-art facility, located at U.S. Highway 281 and East Lingleville Road, with Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
Sponsored research and regional partnerships are two areas set to benefit from the new innovation ecosystem.
“Our economy is driven through research and innovation,” said Tarleton State President Dr. James Hurley. “The cutting-edge research between our university and Texas A&M AgriLife moving forward will help to meet challenges in Texas and beyond. As our university celebrates 125 years starting this fall, we are committed to building a better future for all.”
