About

The main entrance to the Texas A&M Engineering Building features a solid bronze door. Metal Artwork in Saudi Arabia, a company famous for designing palace doors, produced the door. The door weighs 2.5 tons and when the main entrance was being completed, the door had to be installed in one piece by forklift. The gigantic door reflects the greatness of what is happening inside.

There are four outdoor courtyards located within the Texas A&M Engineering Building. Each courtyard is different, yet still contains the architects signature niche of light and water fountains.

The link atrium is the area of the Texas A&M Engineering Building that links the academic and research sides of the building. 

The research rotunda is X-shaped and features skylights in a triangle shape. The color of the rotunda is blue as part of the concept of decreasing interaction between the inside and outside world, so researchers can conduct their studies in a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The rotunda has three floors with four corridors; each side has either three or four labs.

Texas A&M at Qatar has many labs located throughout the building. Each lab, either dry or wet, features exposed ceilings. All doors are fire-proof and are ISO certified. Each lab comes equipped with the latest technology pertaining to the research being conducted.

Lecture hall 238 is the largest room within the Texas A&M Engineering Building. It has a capacity of 150 featuring timber walls and the latest technology, including Internet-based videoconferencing. The wooden door to lecture hall 238 has a similar shape to the main bronze door. The ceiling is blue to relate to the research rotunda and features the same repetitive star shape found throughout the building.

The Texas A&M at Qatar library consists of two floors, a lower floor and a mezzanine. The lounge area features big tables for group studying as well as individual rooms for individual studying.

The student lounge is divided into two areas. Each room has a plasma TV with the latest in gaming technology. The common area of the student lounge contains large tables for group studying, as well as two foosball tables for when a quick break from studying is needed.

Located in the heart of the Houston-Dallas-Austin triangle in Texas and within a two-hour drive of 26 million of the state’s 28 million residents, Texas A&M's flagship campus in College Station is home to more than 69,000 students. 

Students and graduates of Texas A&M are called Aggies and the flagship campus is known as Aggieland. The Welcome to Aggieland Water Tower is a symbol of College Station's hometown vibes.

The Zachry Engineering Education Complex—Texas A&M's new modern, technology-integrated education facility—is open and ready to help the College of Engineering transform engineering education.

The Zachry Engineering Education Complex is the largest academic building on campus and unlike any other facility in the nation. The 525,000-square-foot complex completely modernizes the original Zachry building and expands the facility to include a state-of-the-art Engineering Design Center.

The complex is revolutionizing the way Texas A&M delivers education to its undergraduate students with its student-centered design and modern learning techniques and technology.

One of the greatest moments during an Aggie’s time at Texas A&M is the day he or she receives an Aggie Ring. As the most visible sign of the Aggie Network, the Aggie Ring is a unique representation of achievement, as it can only be ordered when an Aggie completes specific academic requirements.

Located outside the Association of Former Students, a 12-foot-tall bronze replica of the Aggie Ring is located in the Haynes Ring Plaza. Since 2009, it has provided a picturesque backdrop for Aggie Ring Day. It is inscribed with Harold J. “Bill” Haynes, distinguished alumnus and namesake for the plaza. The seal at the top of the ring bears his class year, 1946, and there's a time capsule inside to be opened 2046.
