Nearly 45 acres of the campus at Texarkana College is taking on a new face. The land on the eastern side of the campus has been cleared and is being landscaped in an effort to beautify the campus as well as to provide a site for the construction of the proposed science and library buildings.
Cleared, graded, and planted in clover will be the land bordered by Tucker Street, College Drive, Coolidge Street, and Cowhorn Creek. Purchased by the school recently, the area was a virtual slum district. Yet when the new buildings come, it will comprise probably the most beautiful section of the campus.
Plans for the buildings call for the library building to face east on Coolidge Street and the science building to be across the street. The buildings are, however, still only future plans because funds for their construction are still unavailable.
