Originally from Taiwan, she is proud of the effort she’s put into her two years of study abroad.

The National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University is a 19-acre historical park complete with bronze outdoor sculptures and a museum, all dedicated to sharing the historical and contemporary stories of Western life. On a recent visit to the Center, Lubbock staff (all Texas Tech grads!) got inspiration from the museum entrance, walkways, plants, and sculpture installations, all part of a landscape that tells a story of the historic, symbolic, and cultural heritage of ranching in the area.

Six months post grand opening ceremony and The University of New Mexico - UNM Duck Pond is a thriving ecosystem! 🦆🐢🐟 We did a team site visit to learn about the incredible upgrades made to this site, that stay true to the original design intent of this beloved historic space.

We're here with PREDOCK at the Rail Trail Central Crossing construction site where The City of Albuquerque is building an at-grade pedestrian and bicycle crossing of the railroad tracks at Central Ave. This creates a safe pedestrian connection between EDO and Downtown Albuquerque and will be one of the main entrances to the Rail Trail (and future home of the Tumbleweed)!
