Building the Future

Join the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment as we build spacious teaching environments, high-tech research labs and meaningful community engagement facilities that serve the commonwealth like never before.

The New Martin-Gatton CAFE Campus

Our history as a land-grant university is rooted in our dedication to serving the commonwealth, embodied by our legacy in the Cooperative Extension Service. Every member of our community champions this mission – students, faculty and staff – who continuously explore new and creative ways to enhance lives in Kentucky.

This is an opportunity for us to build Kentucky’s future. Together, we can:

Protect and grow the future of agriculture for Kentucky and the world.
Strengthen our educational programs to recruit a more talented and diverse workforce.
Expand opportunities for people, businesses and communities to solve problems, develop skills and build a better future.
