Broken down into two phases and designed with overlapping schedules and construction, the Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) Academic Complex has transformed the image of the campus. The first phase redefines the campus entrance and increases instructional capacity by about 500 laboratory and classroom seats. The addition of 120-seat lecture rooms and 90-seat classrooms fills the void of high-capacity instructional spaces on campus. The third floor of the building is dedicated to laboratory space for the university’s physics and chemistry departments, including laboratories for both organic and general chemistry.

The second phase of the academic facility expansion houses a multitude of functions for students and staff, including the business center, which enables students and faculty to host video conferences and small study groups. The ground level includes the campus bookstore and café, as well as the student commons for commuter students. The second level features a divisible multipurpose room where graduation functions, career fairs, and business conferences can be held, serviced by the back-of-house kitchen and warming prep areas.
