A Veterans Haven at TCC

Going beyond the ordinary

  When Bill Hunter of Tallahassee Community College called us out to discuss creating a simple timeline of  U.S. military history in the college's new Veterans Center, neither of us had a clear idea of where the project would ultimately lead. I had worked with Bill Hunter, David Wildes, Ann Robeck and others in Facilities and Construction for nearly a decade. Up until this undertaking the sign projects on campus were of a straight forward nature.  I was very pleased that TCC's administrative team allowed me to give so much artistic input, not only on the timeline but other decorative treatments within the center.

The Veterans Center will be a place where TCC's student veterans can relax, study, be acknowledged and advised about their benefits that they have earned for their service.

TCC's Fallen are also remembered.

Faculty and staff are recognized.

I wish to acknowledge Steve Owens along with Administration at TCC: President, Jim Murdaugh, Vice President, Teresa Smith and Vice President, Sally Search for their leadership in turning this dream of TCC's student veterans into a reality.
