Growth, a new spacious building will enrich the programs as follows:

• Allows increase in enrollment numbers
• New research facilities with new research opportunities
• Collaborative opportunities with area healthcare facilities

Parking is definitely a plus on the Round Rock campus as they do not experience the same congestion as the San Marcos campus. Parking will be available within walking distance to Willow Hall.

Although there are no dorms on the Round Rock campus, there are many apartment complexes near campus. Texas State has worked closely with apartment management to develop "student-friendly apartment leases" recognizing the academic school year and student needs.
