The university says Arch “Beaver” Aplin III is contributing $50 million towards establishing the Aplin Center, which will serve as an “immersive learning laboratory for students.'
Primary academic partners will be the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Mays Business School, although other academic units will be involved in specialty projects, says Texas A&M. The center will be built across the street from the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center at the intersection of Wellborn Road and the pedestrian tunnel that functions as the main foot and automobile traffic corridor on campus, in the shadow of Kyle Field.
Aplin graduated from Texas A&M in 1980 with a construction science degree and opened his first Buc-ee's location in Lake Jackson just two years later, says the university. July 28 marks the 40th anniversary of Aplin opening that first location.His business has since expanded into five other states and development is underway in another five.
