Louis LaRose memorial building: A $6 million science project
WINNEBAGO, Neb. -- The Little Priest Tribal College unveiled its monumental $6 million Louis LaRose memorial building this afternoon, marking a new chapter for students and the community. Over two hundred people attended the event, where public tours highlighted the project's potential impact.
"The last building was built in 2012, and the majority of the buildings are old," said Little Priest Tribal College President Manoj Patil. “So, we wanted to construct a contemporary state of the art science facility and promote STEM education in a three floor IT building.”
"This facility will house chemistry, biology programs, classrooms, offices, a student lounge, and a kitchenette area. This is a historic occasion because we have doubled our property valuation from a current $6 million to $12 million by building one building."
The President emphasized. This is only the start of many buildings to update and build. They recently broke ground on a 1.3 million dollar carpentry building, and have plans to build a 10 acre campus in the next 10 years.
