FEATURE: KSU UNVEILS PLANS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE
We have set ourselves up for what we hope
to be a second-to-none student experience
and continue the success we've had with
research outreach and engagement.

ditional renovation to Weber Hall and
Call Hall as well as the building of a
state-of-the-art livestock competition
arena on the north end of campus near

Performance.
INNOVATIVE OPTICAL SORTING SOLUTIONS.
Better than the human eye, Cimbria sorting technology is
the most advanced and reliable solution to meet the high
quality standard of the grain and seed processing industry.
The all-new optical system integrates Full-Color RGB
and NIR cameras, that can be combined with SWIR
and UV technologies to ensure the total removal of
any foreign body like stones, wood and glass, as
well as the best separation of non-conforming or
unwanted grains.
Growing into performance is easy and effective,
thanks to the extraordinary technology signed
by Cimbria.
Millers' Association on Sept. 30,
Kerry Wefald, senior director of development
at the KSU Foundation, said
that in an assessment of the College
of Agriculture facilities conducted in
2019 by an outside consultant, none of
the buildings graded higher than a D,
and the feed technology building and
Shellenberger Hall both received failing
grades.
" We are a global program in grain
science in a very unacceptable situation, "
Wefald said.
Six decades at Shellenberger
Minton said several factors necessitated
the plan to construct a new building
to replace the aging Shellenberger facility.
The first is that, like most buildings
that were constructed more than
six decades ago, it has become outdated,
and its physical condition has
deteriorated.
Hulya Dogan, interim head of the
Department of Grain Science and
Industry, noted that a massive water
leak on Christmas Day caused significant
damage to the building.
" In my 17 years here, I have never
seen anything that bad, " she said. " This
was major water damage. If people
had been in the building at that time,
someone could have gotten hurt. "
Equally concerning, Dogan said, was
the impact the antiquated facility was
having on the learning experience of
current students and the ability to attract
prospective students. Enrollment

has fallen sharply, from a peak of 88 in
2017 to only 40 in the current school
year. Bakery science and management
also has fallen, from 88 in 2014 to 42
currently, and feed science and management,
the Department's third area of
study, has declined from a peak of 51 in
2015 to only 15 students this year.
