Goals completed September 01, 2014-August 31, 2016 (1) REMOTE SENSING LAB: Here, students will learn how to process a variety of satellite data and how to use satellite information to detect, map and solve environmental issues. Remote sensing is the discipline of deriving information about the earth's land and water surfaces using images, acquired from an overhead perspective such as satellites, aircrafts and drones. (Completed March 2016) (2) COMPUTER LAB: This lab offers a reliable and convenient access lo agricultural and biological science software applications that students and faculty might need on a regularly basis but not often enough to justify for their purchase from regular or small grants, e.g. SAS, SPSS, and Microsoft Office. The computer lab will create a learning environment for our students to succeed in their professional career. (Completed April 2016) Two classrooms have been combined to provide for more teaching space for new students. The classroom will include state-of-the art teaching technology. Included during this period was the construction of a Multipurpose, Demonstration/Activity and Exhibit Pavilion approximately 5,700 square feet in size, equipped with SMART BOARD projection technology for outreach demonstrations and conferences. (Completed March 2016) Included during this period was the construction of a Multipurpose, Demonstration/ Activity and Exhibit Pavilion approximately S,700 square feet in size, equipped with SMART BOARD projection technology for outreach demonstrations and conferences. (Completed March 2016) Construction of a Farm Equipment Pesticide Shed, approximately 1008 square feet in size was also completed and will be utilized in the cleaning/spraying down of large farm equipment/machines and designed to comply with EPA regulations. (Completed March 2016) Goals completed September 01, 2016-August 31, 1018 Phase 2 of the renovation process is to renovate vacant office space to create three new labs, which include: WILDLIFE LAB: Used primarily as a wildlife and hydrology research laboratory. Activities will include water quality testing, wildlife disease prevalence testing, DNA extraction and microbial ecology research. ORGANIC LAB ENTOMOLGY LAB Completion date anticipated August 01, 2018 Goals/Projects on schedule for Completion FY September 01, 2017-August 31, 2019 Focus into Fiscal Year 2019 will continue with lab renovations: The Sensory Analysis: Sensory research/analysis uses human panels to measure different food characteristics such as color, appearance, texture, taste, and aroma/smell, in a controlled environmental conditions. The information generated will help the food industry to know their product quality and also to address consumer demands, and introducing new and improved food products in the market. Sensory analysis provides information to understand better how specific food components, ingredients, processes, packages or storage conditions can affect the sensory perception of food products. This lab will consist of 1,666 sq. ft. and consist also of teaching and demonstration technology. Biotechnology Teaching Lab: To teach laboratory courses in Biotechnology to both undergraduates enrolled in the College who take undergraduate degrees or gr graduates students enrolled in the College with concentrations in plant science; animal science or Biotechnology. Together with a preparatory room and a storage room, the lab will be equipped with all the State-of-the-Art equipment for teaching of Biotechnology classes. Also included in this year's plans will be the installment oh Pre-Engineered Metal Building. This building will provide instructional, research and extension space for organic agricultural of the Main Campus Farm. In order to accommodate this growing field we will demolish the existing early era existing "Walking Horse" barn. The new one (1) story prefabricated metal building will provide the look of the existing "Walking Horse" Barn. The building should be approximately 2,400 square feet. Also included will be upgrading to the existing infrastructure, road upgrade, fencing, etc. Timetable: Sept. 01, 2017- Aug. 31, 2019 Activity Identified needs of each researcher in each lab and developed designs to renovate current office area to include new technology environmental safe Jab areas. Designs will be coordinated with the assistance of a consultant and TSU's Facility Management Planning & Design Department. Select a structural engineer and proceed development of SOW Proceeded with the process of submission to the Office of Procurement for bid solicitation. Preview and plan designs for Lawson Hall and CARP classroom and labs. Review Humphries Hall classroom renovations and addition of classroom technology. Finalized production schedule and timeline for renovation. Redefined research/teaching goals to coincide with finalized schedule. Begin renovation in Lawson Hall on Biotechnology Teaching/Research/Lab Complete Biotechnology Teaching/Research Lab. Complete design for Organic Lab, old "Walking Horse" Barn. Installation of Pre-Engineered Metal Building Aug. 15, 2019. Anticipated completion November 2019.

Tennessee State University's College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Sciences (CAHNS) proposes to renovate facilities that will enlarge the capacity of the college's research, teaching, and extension programs. Specifically, the college proposes to: 1) Renovate Farrell-Westbrook Buildings laboratories, administrative space and faculty offices; 2) Renovate and update Family & Consumer Sciences classrooms space in Humphries Hall; and 3) Upgrade the infrastructure of TSU's three off-campus Agricultural Research and Extension Education Centers (AREC's). The College has been experiencing extraordinary growth in student enrollment and graduation in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. TSU continually strives to provide students with current, relevant knowledge in the classroom, and practical hands-on training in the lab. These experiential activities serve as invaluable real world learning opportunities for students. Planned renovations to TSU's Farrell-Westbrook Complex, Humphries Hall, and the three (3) Research and Education Accession No. 1000537 Project No. TENX-2013-02102 Centers called for in this project will support TSU's mission of providing excellent teaching, learning, and experiential opportunities and learning environments, while aiding in the recruitment of quality faculty, students and staff. Planned facilities upgrade/renovations are consistent with the objectives set forth in TSU's Academic Master Plan (AMP). These renovations will serve to increase the level of quality across affected academic programs, while preparing students to meet the increasing demand in STEM career areas. Specific renovations and upgrades (to be completed over the course of the five-year plan) include: 1. Modification of what is currently the Dean's Office in the Farrell-Westbrook Building to create a Transformation Lab to conduct agricultural biotechnology research; 2. Renovations to the Textile Lab in Humphries Hall. This will cover needed repair work attributed to water damage, and bring this teaching/instruction area in-line with current classroom standards; 3. Renovation of existing office space and other various esthetic and functional changes (demonstration/display areas, bathrooms, foyer, student engagement/lounge areas, etc.); 4. Installation of modern irrigation systems at TSU's Ashland City Agricultural Research and Education Center (AREC); 5. Installation of road upgrades at the Ashland City AREC. 6. Installation of new irrigation system on TSU Main Campus AREC. 7. Installation/upgrade of road infrastructure on TSU Main Campus AREC. 8. Installation of (2) 3000' commercial-type greeenhouses on TSU Main Campus AREC. 9. Installation of new irrigation system on TSU's Otis L. Flyod Nursery Research Center. 10. Installation/upgrade of road infrustructure on Nursery Research Center. 11. Renovation of Lawson Hall and installation of "Smart Classroom" equipment. W
