Since the groundbreaking in 2019, construction of the new school has been underway for about 13 months. Before that, faculty say it took two years just planning the program and building. “We have been working very hard to get to this year where we get to welcome our first class and start delivering the curriculum,” said Guy Loneragan, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Texas Tech University.
