Opportunity: New Eagle Pass 100 Acres Campus
On September 29, 2022, the Regents of Texas State University System (TSUS) announced in Eagle Pass, Texas, that Rio Grande College will start transitioning to a branch campus and toward becoming a regional comprehensive four-year university. Rio Grande College will be relocated to a new campus in Eagle Pass owned by the University. The TSUS is in the planning stages of constructing a multi-million dollar, 100-acre campus in Eagle Pass, Texas, that will be the location of a stand-alone four-year University. The Master plan includes nineteen complexes, three residential living buildings that will accommodate one thousand students, a student union, an athletic center, a library, and academic centers. The project's first phase is a $34 million multipurpose building with administrative offices, student activity offices, and classrooms. The new facility is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2025. The new facility will be an integral part of this phenomenal opportunity to expand existing programs and grow new ones for the new university.
