Francis Hall

A National Leader in Construction Education

The primary mission of the Construction Science Department at Texas A&M University is to prepare young men and women for successful careers and future leadership roles in construction and construction-related industries.

We create Aggie Constructors

With over 650 students and 30 faculty members, the Texas A&M Construction Science Department is one of the largest and best programs of construction higher education in the world.

The program prepares our graduates to enter the construction industry in various positions with the ability to lead, problem solve and use innovative applications on their projects. Industry feedback has consistently indicated that our graduates are well prepared to face today’s construction industry challenges.

While many of our graduates follow a traditional path of advancement rising to the top leadership of construction companies across the state, the country, and the world, many others build on the firm foundations of their degree to develop diverse careers.

Currently, the Construction Science Department has 8,501 sq. ft. of assigned space, 45% less than its current needs, with no room for growth for the development of state of the art laboratories and classrooms to prepare students for a constantly changing field.

The Answer to our Future Lies in Texas A&M's Past

In July, Texas A&M University awarded the 8th oldest building on campus to the Construction Science Department to use as its headquarters.
