The Board of Trustees of Tyler Junior College (TJC) has voted to call for an election of a bond worth $167.3 million to cover the costs of paying for improvements to existing facilities and three new construction projects.
Community colleges in Texas do not receive funding from the state for such projects. This is only the fifth bond which TJC has called in the 100-year history of the college.
Three major projects were identified by a Facilities Planning Committee. These projects will provide preparation for the workforce, student learning environments, and improve the physical and technological infrastructure of the college. Flyer printing can be used to provide more detailed information about such projects.
A Workforce and Academic Building, at a cost of $64 million, will house academic programs and workforce training for industries which are in high demand, including criminal justice, engineering, business, information technology, surveying, and others.
A Student Success Center, at a cost of $54.8 million, will consolidate the 18 services that support students at TJC throughout their college career. This will enable TJC to provide student support services more effectively and efficiently as these services are currently located in eight different buildings.
The third building, at a cost of $32.9 million, will be a Student Safety and IT Center that will modernize and integrate physical and digital security operations of TJC and enhance technological and physical safety for everyone on campus.
