The Future Aplin Center - Texas A&M University

Slated for completion in 2028, the Aplin Center on Texas A&M University’s West Campus will be a first-of-its-kind immersive learning hub transforming hospitality, retail and marketing education. The 211,724-square-foot, three-story mass timber facility will house: • Learning laboratories in floral design, fermentation, enology, meat science, dairy and coffee • Product development, sensory and culinary kitchens • Student-run retail and dining spaces The facility is designed not only to educate, but to welcome, with a reimagined visitor center. The space will feature a 170-seat theater and 70-seat multipurpose room to better deliver a high-energy campus experience for prospective students and visitors. The Aplin Center is made possible through a $60 million gift from former student and Buc-ee’s founder and CEO Arch “Beaver” Aplin III ’80.
