Lone Star College - North Harris College

North Harris College is the original college campus in NHMCCD and is the largest campus. The College will celebrate its silver anniversary this year. With more than 60 programs of study, NHC focuses on leading-edge technology in the emerging technical job fields. Two neighborhood centers-Parkway Center and Carver Center-provide resident's neighborhood access to educational opportunities.

Lone Star College - 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.
