In developing a master plan for the first satellite campus for top-tier Texas A&M, we hoped to foster a strong sense of primary local identity, cultural pride, and vibrant campus life. Since inception in 2010, a unique sense of place has taken shape at the school, reinforced by a cohesive architectural expression. The fast-growing student body now takes part in a lively campus culture that is unique to TAMU-San Antonio, with a campus plan rooted in local tradition.
