Texas A&M breaks ground on Aplin Center
Hundreds gathered Oct. 3 on the campus of Texas A&M University to celebrate the groundbreaking of what will become an immersive, hands-on learning hub that will also serve as a campus visitor center. The threestory, more than 211,000square-foot Aplin Center will transform hospitality, retail and marketing education when it opens in 2028.
“Beaver Aplin changed the way Americans travel with Buc-ee’s, and now he’s changing how the next generation of Aggies will learn,” said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. “The Aplin Center proves Texas A&M is more than a place for education — it’s a hub of innovation where dreamers and doers will shape the future of Texas and our nation. Congratulations to Beaver Aplin, Chancellor Hegar and Texas A&M on this incredible new facility.”
