Redlands to cut ribbon on new mural Monday

Body

Redlands Community College will celebrate its new mural with a ribbon-cutting.

The event will be 10 a.m. Monday at RCC.

Titled the Spirit of Redlands, the 16’x73’ mural painted on the east wall of the gymnasium will give the public the opportunity to meet artist Tox Murrillo, who designed and painted it.

The creation is a tribute to RCC’s 11 competitive teams and honors the school’s contributions to education, community and the path ahead.

The new ranking is a marked improvement from over two decades ago when Oklahoma ranked 49th and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation had nearly 1,200 structurally deficient bridges, said Tim Gatz, the agency’s executive director.
