Facilities


In 1985, NHMCCD purchased 143 acres in northwest Tomball, Texas. A single megastructure was chosen as the design instead of building several different buildings. The basic design is a cruciform design with each of the four wings named after the compass direction that they point in, this results in a North, South, East and West wing. Since then the college has grown in size. First the South Wing was expanded, several years later, the college went through a major expansion. In this expansion, the West wing was extended; however, the major work occurred in the East Wing, which greatly extended the size of the campus. In 2005 another expansion project was finished, during which time the Library was moved and expanded to its current form as a joint project with Harris County. Also in the project, a Wellness Center, with raquet ball courts, basketball court and indoor walking track,was opened in the North Wing.
