The welcome center, located at 402 Administration Drive, consists of 84,000 square feet and will act as the introduction to the university for new and prospective students, TWU Chancellor Carine Feyten said during the ceremony.
A number of student services will be located in the building, including:

“Brackenridge Hall has been reimagined for a new era,” Feyten said. “This welcome center is not only about convenience, but it’s also about our identity ... It reflects who we are: bold, welcoming, student-focused and always looking ahead.”
The TWU Board of Regents approved $42.5 million in funding for the project in 2022, according to the university website.
Quote of note
“More than half of our students are the first in their families to attend college,” Feyten said. “They deserve a place that tells them from their very first step on the campus that they are stepping into excellence and they belong here.”
