The university will develop a new Agricultural Learning Center on the former Wysocki Farm on North Pleasant Street to serve as a hands-on, living classroom for students to learn about farming and the horticultural, nursery and landscape industries. The center will also have small areas devoted to livestock, fruits, vegetables, turf and landscape crops.
The center is being created by the Center for Agriculture and the Stockbridge School and will open for classes in fall 2014. The project will be located on Wysocki field (40 acres) on the east side of North Pleasant Street.
