ByDesign TV Spotlights Texas A&M’s Southside Rec Center

Texas A&M University’s flagship campus supports one of the nation’s largest student populations, and its Southside Recreation Center is designed to serve that scale with intention. The facility – already recognized by Athletic Business, NIRSA, The Chicago Athenaeum and the Dallas and Houston chapters of the American Institute of Architects – is featured in the Season 6 premiere of the ByDesign TV series. More than a fitness venue, it acts as a central element of campus life, providing students with a dedicated environment to gather, connect, relax and stay active.

ByDesign dives into the worlds of industrial design, architecture, interior design and landscape innovation, highlighting the ideas and breakthroughs shaping how we live and spotlighting the creators who solve real‑world challenges and transform communities. The series airs nationally on CBS and is available for streaming on CBSN.
