“Building a Better Education”
In 2003, HCC successfully passed a $150.8 million bond issue to begin a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for facility construction and renovation. Central College will soon begin the various phases of the CIP. Considering the challenges and rewards of Central’s growth, the College Transition Team (CTT) will continue providing updates to faculty, staff, students, and the community. Vehicles used to provide updates will include but are not limited to the CTT website (http://learning.cc.hccs.edu/future/), plasma displays, e-mail, brochures, signs, bookmarks, flyers, banners, podcasts, and informational seminars.
