World Soil Day, and the launch of the '2015 International Year of Soils,' is just around the corner, on Dec. 5, according to officials within Texas Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Numerous key events related to soils are already taking place around the globe.
One of the elder buildings in Texas Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is getting a minor facelift this semester with the makeover of the courtyard area behind the CASNR Annex, formerly known as the old Animal and Food Sciences Building. The plaza project is part of Department of Landscape Architecture's 4404/5316 Materials and Details class.
