On May 4, the department of entomology at Texas A&M University held a grand opening of the Rollins Urban and Structural Entomology Facility in College Station. John Wilson, president and chief operating officer of Rollins Inc., spoke at the grand opening event.

The new 10,000-sq.-ft. building is named the Rollins Urban and Structural Entomology Facility, in honor of the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation, whose $2 million gift helped make the state-of-the-art facility a reality.

The facility provides world-class amenities to teach, develop and implement research findings needed to control insects in and around homes and businesses. The Texas A&M urban entomology program supports both the pest management industry and will allow the university to host AgriLife Extension Service programs for decades.
