Gift from faculty couple spurs Texas Tech landscaping
A major planting project on the Texas Tech campus moves 17 Austrian pines from 20 to 25 feet tall into new locations near Knapp Hall and the Architecture Computer building. The trees, donated by Dr. Mina Lamb and Dr. Wall, were once windbreaks on family land in Southeast Lubbock and now weigh about three tons each when balled. Cranes and heavy equipment assist the transplant as the work reshapes a growing campus landscape.
