Operations Division Staff Members Make Contributions
to the Texas Tech Centennial Exhibit
Two Operations Division staff members made contributions to the Texas Tech Centennial Exhibit at the Museum of
Texas Tech University.
Gary Hatfield, project manager for Planning and Design, created an electronic 3D model of the Administration Building
which was used to create the 3D printed model that is on display at the exhibit. Hatfield used the original plans from
1924 to create the model. With limited dimensions to follow, he took his own measurements of the Administration
Building to ensure an accurate model. Once the electronic model was complete, Zoyes Creative created the 3D printed
model of the building.
Don Roulain, assistant director for Grounds Maintenance, worked with representatives from the library and the museum
to gather materials for the exhibit. Terrazzo stone, roof finials, clay roofing tiles and decorative stone were collected and
are now on display in the exhibit.
BACK TO SCHOOL FIESTA
The Operations Division Warehouse team partnered with Texas Tech’s
College Connect for the 24th Annual “Back to School Fiesta Drive”
in August 2023. This event provides area K-12 students with free
backpacks and school supplies. This year the warehouse staff were able
to help process 16 pallets of supplies instead of the normal 5-6 pallets.
Staff members set up workstations and spent two days putting supplies
in backpacks for distribution.
In addition, the central warehouse aided in the storage of materials,
delivering backpacks to the pass-out location, breaking down of the
pallets and boxes, removing trash and any other requests from the
College Connect team during the event.
