Texas A&M University has begun construction on a new nine-story, 157,756-square-foot clinic and educational building near Dallas’ Deep Ellum neighborhood.

The $127 million facility, which is being built for the university’s College of Dentistry, will help the Texas A&M dentistry program boost its enrollment by 25 percent. It will also give North Texans another avenue for dental care.
