Grant Description
Facilities Development in the Sherman Lewis School of Agriculture and Applied Sciences: Langston University Continuing Growth Pathway-- 2023-2028
Project Summary/Abstract
Agriculture and Economic Community Development were founding principles of Langston University and remain so today through the work of the Sherman Lewis School of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (SL/SAAS). True to the land-grant mission, SL/SAAS engages in academics, research, and extension/outreach programs.
The 2023-2028 Langston University's Facilities Program Plan of Work (POW) outlines an effort to strengthen the university's Food, Agriculture, Natural and Human Sciences (FANH) programs and expand opportunities to people and communities. Each requested item in the 2023 LU-POW aligns with the goals and objectives of the 1890 Facilities Grant Program. They also align with the Langston University School of Agriculture and Applied Sciences Strategic Plan.
The Plan of Work includes a request for funding to:
A, upgrade the existing facility housing the School of Agriculture and Applied Sciences to provide additional spaces for student population growth and facilitate necessary furniture and technology improvements;
B, establish a large-animal teaching, research, and extension center, which includes beef cattle;
C, support an expansion phase for the recently developed Horticulture Extension and Research Center (HERC) to include additional office spaces, a food processing demonstration laboratory, development of demarcated areas for small farm orchards, a vineyard, sustainable agriculture, selected specialty crops.
These enhancements will vastly upgrade, modernize current facilities and add new innovative dimensions to SL/SAAS program offerings.
