The Texas Aggies are scoring big points in Fort Worth. On Jan. 19, Texas A&M University announced an expansion of its Fort Worth campus, dubbed Aggieland North by Chancellor John Sharp. The excitement of a football victory met the big announcement. The three-building compound will be constructed on four blocks at the site of the Texas A&M School of Law. The new project will be a part of Fort Worth’s planned redevelopment near Cowtown’s convention center. Chancellor Sharp and university leaders made the announcement at the university’s temporary offices in Fort Worth’s Burnett Plaza. Construction will begin this summer on its first building, the Law & Education Building. Stantec will serve as the architect of record and provide planning services, working in partnership with the design architect, Pelli Clarke & Partners. Construction management teams will be Turner Construction Company, CARCON Industries, Source Building Group Inc., and Dikita Enterprises. “A top-10 public research institution ensures Fort Worth’s future is rooted in the next economy driven by an educated workforce, whether it be lawyers, engineers, health care professionals or technology workers whose jobs don’t even exist today,” the chancellor said in a statement released by the university. “Thanks to our partners, the city of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, the Texas A&M System is investing in a unique public-private sector endeavor that will be a magnet for economic growth for the North Texas region.” read more: https://candysdirt.com/2023/01/30/gig-em-fort-worth-texas-aggies-scoring-big-in-downtown-cowtown-with-three-building-campus/

Took a little piece of my favorite things up a mountain this weekend. Rahr Brewery and some Mean Green, from Pike's Peak Summit: 14,115 feet. Had so much fun!
