GOALS FOR FY 2006
DEVELOP PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR RESEARCH
UTB/TSC has made enormous strides in its research programs by increasing external funding expenditures. For the institution to enhance research programs now under way, and attract federal funding for new and existing programs, it must have adequate physical infrastructure. The institution has critical classroom space needs with even greater challenges looming with projected dramatic enrollment increases. Accommodating research will require new space designed for specific purposes or the retrofitting of existing buildings.
