Hmmmm. It appears to me that baby brother in Lubbock can't even afford to lease 16,000 square feet in Amarillo, yet they want a whole new Vet school there?
Guess which flag flies today outside the Drummond center, along with the National and State flags?

Officials with The Texas A&M University System announced Thursday that the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) will help address critical needs in the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile by providing technical expertise, workforce development and training at the Pantex Plant, the nation's primary facility for the final assembly, dismantlement and maintenance of nuclear weapons...
Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS), which manages and operates the plant, signed a memorandum of understanding with TEES, a state agency within The Texas A&M University System, in February. Then in April, the Texas A&M System Board of Regents authorized the engineering state agency to sublease up to 16,000 square feet of space at the newly opened John C. Drummond Center, located adjacent to the Pantex Plant.
"CNS approached TEES about the many opportunities for collaboration in research and training, education, professional development and joint program development at Pantex," said John Sharp, Texas A&M System Chancellor. "The partnership accelerates access for TEES to partner with U.S. Department of Energy employees and researchers housed inside the secured-areas of Pantex Plant."
