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.

“It’s vital to recognize how deeply interconnected our three mission areas are — teaching, research and extension. When we invest in improved facilities, we strengthen the entire foundation of our college. These investments support innovative research, enrich student learning and expand our capacity to serve communities across Kentucky through extension.”
Laura Stephenson Vice President for Land-grant Engagement and Dean
