MACOMB, IL 鈥� The 澳门六合彩历史记录 School of Agriculture (Ag) is proud to announce the completion of significant renovations to the on-campus Livestock Center, thanks to a generous $10,000 Community Building Grant from Compeer Financial and additional support from Mark Hoge and the Ag Legacy Sale funds.

"We are very excited about the new facelift in the Livestock Center as we were able to get new flooring in the main hallway, classroom, and two bathrooms," 澳门六合彩历史记录 Ag Director Andy Baker said. "We were also able to replace the old bathroom fixtures with new fixtures (toilet, sink, towel dispenser, soap dispenser, and mirrors). This renovation project will certainly modernize the look of the Livestock Center, which is our primary facility for recruitment events.

"We are very grateful that we were awarded a $10,000 Compeer Financial Community Building Grant as well as Dr. Mark Hoge and the Ag Legacy Sale funds to make this renovation project a reality. We also appreciate the assistance of 澳门六合彩历史记录's Facilities Management staff for making sure this project reached the finish line."

The renovation project aims to enhance the experience for both current students and prospective recruits. The Livestock Center serves as a central hub for the School of Agriculture, which boasts over 200 actively participating students and an impressive 93% retention rate across the department.

Compeer Financial, a member-owned cooperative, serves and supports agriculture and rural communities by providing financial services including loans, leases and risk management. They are known for championing the hopes and dreams of rural America through various grants, including those for higher education institutions and agricultural facilities.
