The Tuskegee University College of Agriculture, Environment and Nutrition Sciences received $1.5 million to add research laboratories to the newly constructed Henderson Hall. The funds will be used to build plant biotechnology research laboratories.
The Monsanto Company awarded $750,000 toward the project and the United States Department of Agriculture provided $750,000 in matching funds.
“These labs will provide unlimited educational opportunities in plant science for our world’s next generation of researchers and biologists,” said Robb Fraley, Monsanto’s chief technology officer.
