​​​​KINGSVILLE, KLEBURG COUNTY – Construction of a new $60 million music building at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is set to begin June 2017.

The new state-of-the-art facilities will replace the aging Bellamah Music Building, which was built in 1959 to accommodate 100 students and 12 faculty members.

The program now has 250 students and 30 faculty members.

The new building will nearly triple in size from 32,000 sf to 90,000 sf. ​

Texas A&M-Kingsville opened in 1925 and is the oldest continuously operating public institution of higher learning in South Texas.

Home to about 8,300 students, TAMU-Kingsville has 80 buildings on 250 acres in historic Kingsville about 40 miles to the northeast of Corpus Christi.
