The Providenciales campus of the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College, adjacent to Williams Plaza on Old Airport Road, is to be relocated in time for the start of the 2011/2012 school year.
That’saccording to President of the College, Rev. Julia Williams. While Mrs. Williams was not in a position to divulge the future location
of the institution, she said negotiations are still being worked out with the prospective landlords as to the dynamics of the future site.
Regarding to talk on the street that the Community College could be housed on the grounds of the New Age Academy and Language Centre, downtown Providenciales, Rev. Williams did not confirm nor deny this, only to say that it would be premature to make a public statement on the matter at this time and that an announcement to the effect , as well as the reason for the Providenciales College relocating from its present location, would be made soon. She did however say that they are looking forward to relocating for the September school year.
Rumors have been circulating throughout the community that the Providenciales branch of the TCI Community College could possibly house the Providenciales Police Department Headquarters, which has been operating from a building condemned by the authorities more than a decade now.
The Providenciales Police Headquarters is slated to move to the Myrtle Rigby Complex which once housed Provo’s only public health facility.
However, according to the SUN’s report, some influential persons in the community, are not pleased with the move, basing their disagreement on the understanding that the original plan was for the Myrtle Rigby facility to be transformed into living quarters for employees of the hospital, following the opening of the Cheshire Hall Medical Centre.
It is not clear at this point what Government would do with the facility, but new Commissioner of Police Colin Farquar, told media professionals at a recent press conference that one of the challenges confronting him is the working condition that Police officers have been subjected to for a very long time and it is the hope of he and his deputy, that they can vacate their current location in as short a time as possible as conditions are not conducive to work.
