audiovisual room. It will be constructed in TSU Lucinda Campus at
Barangay Sampu, Tarlac City.
The University is the first among the state university and colleges (SUCs)
in Central Luzon to avail of financial assistance from the Bank. The
project will address the school requirement for its new Nursing
curriculum offered starting the school year 2004-2005, and accommodate
the existing 1,003 enrollees in the College of the Arts and College of
