The TCC Board of Trustees in a recent meeting voted on the three plans proposed by the architectural firm of Myrick, Newman and Dahlberg, Inc. to re-landscape the TCC campus. The plan chosen consists of closing Coolidge Street and making a pedestrian walkway that can also serve as a fire lane where needed.
The landscape company suggested six phases for the work with the first including a Barlow wall along Robison Road and College Drive to help define the boundaries, closing of Coolidge Street, landscape work around the classroom building and a social center near the library.
The firm also suggested eliminating the present parking lot near the library and putting in a 50-car lot on the other side of the building.
In related business, the board authorized the engineering firm of Murray, Thomas and Griffin, Inc. of Texarkana to do a perimeter and topographical survey of the campus to establish the flood plain and set the bench marks around the campus.
The board also voted to extend the existing policy concerning senior citizens, extended the contract of Deborah Rockman as an ADN instructor and awarded bids for 26 vent hoods for welding booths and equipment for the CEC Annex.
