The Aplin Center mass timber project also features glue-laminated columns and beams, as well as cross laminated timber floor and roof panels. All timber used is sourced from Texas sawmills. The project will require more than 3.5 million board feet of timber. The project, designed by DLR Group and Pickard Chilton, is the largest mass timber project on a university campus in Texas.
Texas A&M has selected key partners to advance toward a fall groundbreaking for the Aplin Center. Supported by a $50 million gift from former student Arch “Beaver” Aplin III, owner of Buc-ee’s, the academic center will serve as an immersive learning laboratory for students.
