Goodbye, TCB


This is all that’s left of what was used to be known as Temporary Classroom Building (TCB).

Megan took all of us at work for a campus tour so that we were aware of what prospective students would see and what information they would be given if they take a campus tour. So there we were, walking between the two lakes and instead of the TCB appearing to our left, there was nothing but this barren sandy area and the section of wood that was supposed to be the entrance to the TCB. So naturally, I had to take a picture of it (above).

It was built some years ago as a makeshift building while the Bill Ratliff Engineering & Science Complex was being constructed. It was supposed to be rented by the school for only 2 years but for some reason, it never went away and remained there all those years… until now.

I’ve had 4 classes in this building and to those who’ve also had classes here, you’d know- no more bipolar temperatures (its either extremely hot or extremely cold in there), no more hearing the footsteps of everyone entering the building… just no more TCB.

Is it a bittersweet goodbye? I don’t know. Now I’m just curious whether or not a new permanent building will replace TCB, or whether they’ll just leave the area of land empty. I guess I’ll find out in a couple of months!
