KSU Breaks Ground on Global Grain & Food Innovation Center
USAgNet - 06/03/2024
Kansas State University has launched a project that will bring together two of its strongest agricultural programs under one roof.
The university held a groundbreaking ceremony on May 17 for the Global Center for Grain and Food Innovation, to be located just off the corner of Claflin Road and Mid-Campus Drive. The new building is estimated for completion in Fall, 2026.
It will also bring faculty and staff from the departments of animal science, food science, and grain science together, allowing them to work side-by-side on more projects.
K-State's Department of Grain Science and Industry offers the country's only undergraduate degrees in milling science, bakery science and feed and pet food processing - and in fact, is one of only a few in the entire world to do so. The department reports a 100% job placement rate in those degree programs.
