32 Texas A&M International University DEMOLITION University Village Student Housing (UVIL) The UVIL student housing complex is nearing the end of its useful life and will be phased offline and then demolished in the near-term. The right-of-way for the conversion of Bob Bullock to an interstate highway will also intrude significantly on this site, limiting its desirability for residential use. RENOVATION University Village Clubhouse Renovation for Alumni Center (E) Once the UVIL housing buildings have been demolished, the existing clubhouse is anticipated to be retained and renovated for use as alumni center. The surrounding parking can be retained, while the remainder of the site can be repuposed as open space to complement the Alumni Center in the near term, or future uses yet to be determined. The greenspace between KCB and STC is transformed into “Student Commons”and “Arroyo Park” on either side of the north-south pedestrian spine. Killam Library (KLM) The Killam Library is a high priority for a significant renovation. The Univeristy has been working to “unpack” certain uses from the building in order to expand and enhance library and learning support programs, as well as other uses. A Program of Requirements was completed in 2016 which includes the intended renovation program as an appendix. Canseco Hall (CNS) With new facilities planned for Health Sciences and Nursing, many of the existing space uses in Canseco Hall may be decanted in the near term and renovation & repurposement of existing facilities can occur. During the functional condition assessment carried out by the planning team, Canseco Hall emerged as an academic building with significant need. While the uses were generally appropriate to the space and reasonably adequate for their purpose, the interior quality is lacking and in need of refurbishment. 3 - CAMPUS PLAN Near-Term Plan Health Science Center & Nursing Building WHT Addition Alumni Center Renovation Existing UVIL Clubhouse to be Renovated
