The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) is charged with the care of two large and very important orphaned herbaria: the Lloyd H. Shinners Collection in Systematic Botany, formerly housed at Southern Methodist University, and the Vanderbilt University Collection. Although a young institution, BRIT has grown significantly, and a new facility to house it will be constructed by 2007. This facility will allow for expanding programs in education, allow for increase of library holdings, enhance the conduction of taxonomic research, and expand space for editorial offices for BRIT's scholarly publications. Currently an additional 4000 square feet of space are being leased to house the Vanderbilt collection and ease crowding for the other collections. The current project will allow for the purchase of 400 additional herbarium cases for this space for the Vanderbilt collection, which will eventually be housed in the new facility.

得克萨斯州植物研究所（BRIT）负责照顾两个大型和非常重要的孤儿植物标本馆：劳埃德H。系统植物学中的Shinners收藏，以前位于南卫理公会大学和范德比尔特大学收藏。 虽然是一个年轻的机构，但英国理工学院已经有了很大的发展，到2007年将建造一个新的设施。 该设施将允许扩大教育计划，允许增加图书馆馆藏，加强分类学研究的进行，并扩大BRIT学术出版物编辑部的空间。 目前，另有4000平方英尺的空间正在出租，以容纳范德比尔特的收藏品，并缓解拥挤的其他收藏品。 目前的项目将允许购买400个额外的植物标本箱为这个空间的范德比尔特收集，这将最终安置在新的设施。
