The proposal outlines plans for a new Meat Science Center at Sam Houston State University to be built off Highway 75 within 5 minutes of the main campus. The two-story facility would include classrooms, offices, observation areas, and meat storage to encourage learning and quality meat production. With an estimated construction cost of $1.4 million over 8 months, the 37,500 square foot building would have stained concrete floors, glass doors, and theater seating for observation with the goal of providing an adequate space for students and faculty.
