TYLER, Texas — The University of Texas at Tyler will get its long awaited new College of Nursing facility and the Health Science Center will be getting a resident teaching school, thanks to help from the top.
The University of Texas System announced Thursday that the Board of Regents has approved a proposal to invest $95 million in facilities in Tyler for UT Tyler and UT Health. The money will come from the system's Permanent University Fund, which is funded by oil and gas production on university-owned lands, according to a news release from the system.
Out of that $95 million will come $35 million in funding for an Advanced Nursing & Health Sciences Complex to house UT Tyler's rapidly growing program.
