The 29,000 square-foot Agricultural Learning Center (ALC) will house classrooms, laboratories, exposition and office spaces, and a kitchen. The facility will increase and enhance opportunities for constituencies throughout the region through innovative learning for students, applied research and partnership within the agricultural industry, and creating economic, educational, cultural and social engagement activities related to food and agriculture.
With approximately 11 percent of undergraduate students enrolled in the School of Agricultural Science, the ALC will increase awareness, develop Northwest's already robust learning experiences and provide resources for students to join the 98 percent of alumni who have graduated and found employment or continued their education within six months of graduating.
