Cy-Fair
College
The land purchase
was finalized in early May 2001 on 201.182 acres at the northwest
corner of Barker Cypress Road and West Road as the site for Cy-Fair
College. The process to finalize the site began with a site
selection advisory committee appointed by the Chancellor in the Fall
of 2000 composed of community residents and board members. They
considered several sites looking at size, access and location. The
Barker Cypress and West Road site is located almost in the center of
the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District with three (3)
major thoroughfares feeding the area: the Northwest Freeway (290),
Barker Cypress and West Roads.
"Finalizing
the land purchase allows us to implement all of the planning that
has gone on during the acquisition process," said Diane Troyer,
Ph.D., president of Cy-Fair College. "We have not held back on
any of our planning but clearly this is one of our significant
milestones to bring us to the opening of the college in 2003."
With the
land purchase completed, college planners can focus on continuing
the development of the campus. Plans include a substantial waterway
that will run through the property, providing aesthetic appeal as
well as practical function as a retention pond. The waterway will be
visible from most of the five major buildings that have been planned
so far - the Learning Commons, the Student Center, the Performing
& Fine Arts center, and two academic buildings.
