The Blinn College District Board of Trustees took two more steps toward the completion of the new Bryan Campus Administration Building during its regular meeting held Tuesday, May 21, at the RELLIS Campus.

The board authorized the purchase of furniture and audio-visual equipment for the $31 million facility currently under construction on the north side of the Bryan Campus. Scheduled for completion in February 2025, the 46,000-square-foot facility will include administrative space, prospective student relations, business services, human resources, and a large meeting room with capacity for up to 300 people. Upon completion of the Administration Building, Blinn will move out of its current student services location at the Tejas Center in Bryan to bring all services at that location to the Bryan Campus.

The building will be constructed on the north side of the Bryan Campus at the intersection of Nash Street and Villa Maria Road and creates a new campus entry that connects the Administration Building to the rest of campus. Site amenities include a monument sign, circle entry drive and plaza with parking for approximately 10 visitors, pedestrian walkways, and a 180-space parking lot located behind the building.

In other business, the board received a report from Kelly Templin, The Texas A&M University System Director of Texas A&M-RELLIS, regarding the continued growth and development on the campus. The board also authorized the College to negotiate and execute a private utility easement agreement with Cebridge Acquisition, L.P., a subsidiary of Altice USA, Inc., on the Bryan Campus.
