The Tarrant County College Board of Trustees approved design enhancements in the amount of $459,100 with Huckabee Associates for the Northwest campus.

The details

According to district documents, the additional funds will be used for the following items:

• $365,750 - food service
• $72,350 - bookstore, copy center, art department
• $10,000 - wireless access points
• $11,000 - security cameras

During her presentation to the board, Chief Financial Officer Pamela Anglin said the enhancements would be made to buildings NW02 and NW03 on the Northwest campus. Anglin said the food service changes would include adding equipment for a kitchen, which was not included in the original design, and adding a front area that includes a salad bar.

What else?

Anglin added the district has secured a contract with Barnes and Noble and the bookstore layout revisions are in accordance with the lease expectations. Due to the transition to a 6G network, Anglin said that wireless access points were needed in buildings NW02 and NW03.

Anglin said the bookstore, the copy center and the food service area are all considered auxiliary enterprises in that they all generate revenue for the district.
