Texas A&M System Files $33.8M Teaching Building at Prairie View

The Texas A&M University System has registered a $33.8 million teaching building for Prairie View A&M University with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with an estimated start date that has already passed.

Why it matters

Contractors and subcontractors tracking TDLR TABS filings for upcoming public bid work now have a concrete target: a 42,746 square foot academic building in Waller County with public funding already flagged on the record. For firms that build on Texas A&M System campuses, the past start date means procurement and subcontracting decisions are likely active now rather than months out.

The numbers

TDLR project TABS2027002728, registered October 5, 2026, lists the owner as the Texas A&M University System, with contact David Wilkinson at the system’s College Station office. The estimated cost is $33,750,000 for 42,746 gross square feet. The filing’s own scope line describes “new construction” of an administrative and classroom building plus redevelopment of an existing plaza at 154 LW Minor St in Prairie View, Waller County. The record lists an estimated start date of August 1, 2025, and an estimated completion of December 7, 2026, about nine weeks after the October registration. The project carries a public funds designation, which brings state prevailing wage rules into play. Design work is credited to Harrison Kornberg, an architecture firm based in Houston.

What’s next

With a start date 14 months before registration and completion about nine weeks after it, the record suggests the filing trails work already underway. Bid activity and any mechanic’s lien filings tied to the Waller County property are the next records worth checking as the project moves toward its stated completion window.
