[edit] Capital campaign
A capital campaign is underway to raise funds for a new $65 million, 140,000-square-foot (13,000 m²) facility to replace the current business administration building. The new facility will provide modern classrooms as well as breakout rooms, a student lounge, study areas, food service, and a career management center. The campaign is co-chaired by Alan White, chairman and CEO of PlainsCapital Corporation, and Jack Hightower, chairman and CEO of Celero Energy.
The planned facility will incorporate leading edge technology into every faculty office and classroom. With state-of-the-art technology and data feeds similar to the equipmment currently being used by industry professionals, students will have the opportunity to utilize the practices and techniques they will encounter upon graduation from Texas Tech University.
The new building will be located on the north end of campus at the current site of Thompson/Gaston Hall. The building will be constructed in Spanish Renaissance theme and will create new a north campus gateway. Ground-breaking is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2009 and the building should be complete in 2011.[2]
