Gov. Rick Perry Leads Groundbreaking Ceremony for TIPS Facility
Calling it “a milestone in the future of the investment in Texas,” Gov. Rick Perry and other officials broke ground on the $47.8 million Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies (TIPS) facility Friday on campus.
Located near the College of Veterinary Medicine &
Biomedical Sciences and the headquarters for the Texas A&M System Health
Science Center, the TIPS facility will focus on research and education and will
feature a vast array of multi-disciplinary programs that will play a key role in
training veterinarians, physicians, scientists, engineers and technicians in a
variety of medical and research-based initiatives.
The facility will total about 104,000 square feet and should be completed by June of 2009. Theresa Fossum, professor of veterinary medicine, will serve as TIPS director.
