Texas A&M Agrilife Research, QuadTex, and ICON, a leading construction 3D printing company, have recently completed three 3D printed homes for student housing in McGregor, Texas. The 1,197-square-foot homes will provide housing for students participating in agricultural research and technology innovation at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research station in McGregor.
The new housing in McGregor represents one of many locations across the state – centers, stations, and farming and ranching operations – where the state agency conducts research.

“The homes will be integral as we move forward with the new AgriTech Innovation Hub at McGregor,” said G. Cliff Lamb, Director of AgriLife Research. “The hub program will support innovation through industry collaboration. These new 3D printed homes will help guarantee a constant expert presence on site, guiding our mission to advance agricultural, natural resources, and life sciences research across Texas and beyond.”
“We’re excited to see these homes officially completed for Texas A&M AgriLife Research,” said Bella Nowland, Director of Business Development at ICON. “Designed from our TexNext Collection, these homes will serve students, researchers, faculty, and industry leaders who are shaping the future of agriculture in Texas and beyond. It’s exciting to see innovation happening at the intersection of housing and agriculture, and we look forward to continuing to build a more advanced and resilient future together.”
