The Trinity Earth and Environmental Geosciences rock garden, located south of Marrs McLean Science Hall of CSI, was established to commemorate and honor the memory of Donald McGannon, Jr., founder of Trinity’s Geology Department (now the department of Earth and Environmental Geosciences), and to provide the campus and community with a beautiful, educational landmark in the heart of Trinity’s campus.
