Two images stacked: 2025 Touchdown Tower with partial scaffolding and Arboretum water tower in 2000 with wrapped in white protective material.

Aggie history is in the making with the restoration of the "Touchdown Tower" water tower!

Once scaffolding is in place, the tower will be fully "under wraps," similar to the cocoon-like wrapping that enclosed the domestic (Arboretum) water tower during its own restoration in 2000. bit.ly/45SMCX
