A鈥痭ew well house will serve as a gathering place and a formal entrance to the south side of campus. It will be located outside The Harrison and will be a classical stone gazebo with a domed copper roof.鈥�
鈥淲hen we first envisioned this space, we saw a lovely and fun outdoor gathering spot,鈥� said Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. 鈥淐ommunity is at the heart of what we do. I look forward to seeing this come to life and creating another place where Horned Frogs come together to enjoy our beautiful campus and make lifelong memories.鈥�
Funding for the well house is generously provided by TCU Trustee Emeritus Nancy Tartaglino Richards and the Tartaglino Richards Family Foundation.鈥�
鈥淥n behalf of the entire TCU community, we extend our deepest gratitude to Trustee Richards and her family for this generous gift that will enhance our campus and become a backdrop for Horned Frog memories,鈥� Boschini said. 鈥淣ancy鈥檚 thoughtfulness and support are truly appreciated.鈥�
Todd Waldvogel, associate vice chancellor for facilities and campus planning, said sites such as these are carefully considered.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥痑re鈥痑lways鈥痚valuating each space among the buildings on campus, looking for meaningful opportunities to enhance and energize our outdoor spaces and build community,鈥� he said.鈥�淏alancing our green spaces and open spaces along with building and parking needs is a critical part of our campus planning.鈥�
The well house was planned after, last year, a remaining single-family residence was removed on Wabash Avenue upon its vacancy.鈥�
