Serving the workforce needs of Willamette Valley farms and nurseries
Situated on an 5.5-acre site at the Southeast side of Chemeketa’s Main Salem campus, the new Agricultural Complex is to serve as an important hub for the surrounding agricultural community and industry with classroom space, garden/farm demonstration fields, ornamental yard, and beneficial insectary. The Complex will include new indoor and outdoor facilities for Chemeketa Community College’s Agriculture, Horticulture, and AgriBusiness Management Programs along with space for its partners, Marion Polk Food Share (MPFS), industry consortia, and local school districts. Central to the development is a new 14,000 square foot classroom and partner building that will feature three community classrooms, a science lab classroom, a lab preparation room, two seminar/ conference rooms, a student resource room, faculty offices and work area. The two community classrooms are designed with an operable partition wall so the spaces can be made into 2 - 30 person classrooms, also connecting to a large open foyer area for students and events. These shared areas will enhance the overall spatial efficiency and create a culture of collaboration key for a vital community hub.
