A foundation has donated 68 acres for a new University of Texas research facility in Taylor near a new Samsung plant, officials said.
The University of Texas-Taylor Center will be built on land adjacent to Taylor High School on U.S. 79, according to a news release from the city. It is a gift from the Temple College at Taylor Foundation, a nonprofit established by Taylor residents to provide higher education in the city, the release said.

The center will be near Samsung, which is building a $17 billion semiconductor facility in the area. UT announced the donation Thursday.
“Advancing innovation, growing education and cultivating leadership in the semiconductor space is a major area of focus for the University of Texas, and we are excited to have a presence in the burgeoning Taylor community and the opportunity to further shape the expanding footprint of the semiconductor ecosystem in Central Texas,” UT President Jay Hartzell said in a news release.
The Texas Institute for Electronics is considering using the site for training and research with semiconductor partners, the release said. The university is working on the master plan for the center that will initially focus on research, said Amanda Irving, UT's vice president of philanthropy.
