Discovery and research
New projects
Several projects include expansions in Round Rock and other satellite locations, plus online programs accessible statewide. On the San Marcos campus, plans feature a new music building, a gallery linked to the performing arts center, renovations of Supple Science, Encino Hall, Jackson Hall, a campus hotel, theater center restoration and adaptable space behind Lantana Hall.
One of Texas State’s goals is to make research a top priority, according to plan documents. To support this, the university plans to complete a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM, neighborhood and expand space through new and renovated facilities. The area will feature an Integrated Science and Discovery Building, parking garage, quad and a pedestrian bridge. Renovations will include Thornton House and the Science Greenhouse.
