The Truckee Meadows Community College
(TMCC)
is part of the Nevada System of Higher Education.
The pictures above show a map, places and buildings of
TMCC's Dandini Campus, located
in north Reno, next to the Desert Research Institute (DRI) and
the Western Regional Climate Center (WRCC).
The two top-row pictures show the TMCC campus and the
Red Mountain Building, which houses
a cafeteria, the Student Center
as well as conference and other spaces to meet, talk, learn and
work together.
The TMCC map gives an overview of the central campus circle and
building ensemble surrounded
by parking lots. The TMCC website provides more detailed,
location-specific
Campus and College Maps.
The lower right picture highlights between-the-classes TMCC
outdoor experiences.
The Vista Building terrace is a nice place
to view the Truckee Meadows and the Carson Range with
Mount Rose. An interpretive panel
on the terrace provides a short biography of
adventurer and mountain man
James Pierson Beckwourth, who explored emigrant wagon routes during the gold rush days—connecting Reno and Sparks with places in the Sierra and beyond.
