Dear TAMIU Community Member, I am pleased to present our Master Plan 2023, a vital tool to help guide the growth of Texas A&M International University’s (TAMIU) 300-acre campus for years to come. Great universities are the result of careful, deliberative planning. Dedicating our resources to creating a Master Plan affirms the importance of a unifying vision guiding future buildings, land use, and infrastructure changes needed to reach goals, adapt to change, and align with our overarching Strategic Plan objectives and our cherished Mission. Simply put, regularly creating or updating a campus Master Plan is a smart thing to do. It helps ensure that the caliber and delivery of our programs and services emanate from a campus optimized for this. Project partner Perkins&Will have provided integrated services including planning, architecture, engineering, landscape design, and cost consulting. The resulting Master Plan’s data-informed inputs include existing conditions analysis, space utilization and benchmarking, enrollment statistics, and facility condition assessment. As such, it offers a holistic set of future improvement recommendations for land use and building renovation/ demolition/ new construction. Landscape design, infrastructure, transportation, and parking solutions have also been considered and created. As this Master Plan will inform our future capital plans, project descriptions, prioritization, phasing, and budgeting are included as essential elements. With two new campus construction projects ahead, the new Health Sciences Education and Research Center and the Western Hemispheric Trade Center expansion, TAMIU’s dynamic growth continues. We’re excited to share this Master Plan for TAMIU with you. My thanks to all involved in the Plan’s creation and completion. It provides a powerful opportunity to look into our shared future and see how we can and will continue to “Go Beyond”.
