UTRGV: Keeping an eye on the horizon
Each day, our distributed university is expanding to serve the needs of our students and communities. We currently have campuses and sites in five locations across the Rio Grande Valley, with new buildings and projects totaling 433,615 square feet. These new and better facilities will boost student, faculty and staff achievement, and will support UTRGV on its path to becoming a top-tier emerging research university.
