Commission approves Dyersburg State master plan; consultant cites roughly $120 million in projects
Summary
The commission approved a master plan for Dyersburg State Community College that includes a 90,000‑square‑foot community workforce/entrepreneurial center and other campus consolidations; the presenter estimated the total program at about $120,000,000.
The State Building Commission voted to adopt Dyersburg State Community College’s master plan after a presentation by consultant Art Litsky, who described program consolidation, a new community workforce and entrepreneurial center, a connector road, expanded parking and athletic practice fields.
Litsky said the workforce training building is planned as a 90,000‑square‑foot facility and that the various campus projects together ‘‘I think the total is around $120,000,000 for the various different projects starting with the, community workforce training, which is a 90,000 square foot building.’’ The presenter said the college seeks funding sources for both renovation and new construction and that some projects would repurpose existing spaces now used for nonacademic purposes.
The commission approved the plan by voice vote with no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript. The transcript records that the presenter described outreach with faculty, staff and students during plan development and highlighted topography advantages, a proposed connector road to improve circulation, and consolidation of arts and theater uses into a single building.
