The UMC campus consists of 29 buildings on 237 acres. Classroom and administrative
buildings encircle a central mall and are connected by enclosed walkways. The campus has undergone many recent capital improvement projects including a new Early Childhood Development center, a complete renovation of the historic 1910 Kiehle Hall, the construction of a new Student Center, and the completion in 2006 of the Centennial Hall student dormitory with two-bedroom apartment style units. All student rooms have high speed Internet access and ample wireless access to provide service to the student laptop computers. Construction began in 2006 on a new central heating plant. |
The University of Minnesota Crookston (UMC) is a four-year university located in
Crookston, Minnesota. With approximately 1,200 students, it is the smallest campus
in the University of Minnesota system. In 1895, the Minnesota legislature appropriated $30,000 to construct experimental research farms at Morris, Minnesota and Crookston, Minnesota. The Great Northern Railway, under the guidance of James J. Hill, donated 476 acres. The Northwest Experiment Station was established. In 1905, the Minnesota legislature appropriated $15,000 to establish the Northwest School of Agriculture, a regional residential agricultural high school. The school provided training in "the technical and practical business of agriculture and in the art of homemaking." The school year began in October and ended in March to accommodate farm students. In 1906, the Northwest School of Agriculture (NWSA) officially opened. In 1963, the University of Minnesota Bureau of Field Studies began examining the need for a two year institution of higher education at the NWSA and, in 1965, the University of Minnesota Technical Institute, a two-year (associate) degree granting institution, was formed. |
