Completion of an expansion project will allow the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture at Curtis to nearly double its student enrollment to 600 someday.

Several new buildings were dedicated at the southwest Nebraska campus last week.

The new buildings include an auditorium; classrooms; laboratories for plant physiology, tissue culture, biology and chemistry; and two residence halls.

The $15 million project was paid for by an $8.7 million state appropriation and donations by 200 individuals, businesses and organizations.
