The Texas Tech University System Board of Regents approved multiple projects in regards to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). Beginning this year, TTUHSC will see improvements to campuses and their schools.

The TTUHSC School of Allied Health Sciences was approved to adopt a new name.

The medical practice covers disease and disorders of the ear, nose and throat (ENT) and head and neck related structures. Clinical treatment, academic and research related practices will be conducted, in addition to establishing and maintaining a new residency training program.

Expansion of the Lubbock campus will include a new gross anatomy lab and more space for study and research. Odessa will begin design on the new Permian Basin Academic Facility, which will accommodate lecture halls, classrooms, research laboratories and other support space. Amarillo campus will open planning and design for the new Panhandle Clinical Simulation Center.
