The Blinn Board of Trustees on Thursday approved a guaranteed maximum price of $68 million to develop an academic building at Blinn College’s new Waller Campus.
The facility will be the first building on the Waller Campus. It is planned as an approximately 82,000-square-foot, three-story structure that will include classrooms, laboratories, student support areas and administrative spaces that will serve as the foundation for future campus development.
In related action, trustees authorized the College to proceed with issuing and selling $55.5 million in Series 2026 revenue bonds. The bond proceeds will support construction of the academic building, with the remaining project costs coming from Blinn’s cash reserves. Blinn will also use its reserve to establish the bond reserve fund and pay the cost of issuing the bonds.
Construction is already underway on a 17,000-square-foot Waller Workforce and Technical Education Complex that will begin offering classes in the summer.
Blinn recently opened a new administration office at 31406 FM 2920, Suite B203 in Waller to assist students with applications, payments, academic advising and financial aid. A dedicated Registration Day event will be held at the administration office on Wednesday, January 7th from 9 a.m. to noon. Students can sign up at www.blinn.edu…
