Demolition, site work, new construction, renovation and addition to an educational facility in Princeton, Kentucky. Completed plans call for the construction of a 52,324-square-foot educational facility; for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; for the renovation of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The new Grain Center allows the University to conduct research on intensive agricultural production practices, to study water quality issues, and to help define the environmental footprint of intensive agriculture. This ultimately benefits Kentucky producers by providing new applications and technologies that result in increased yields, reduced inputs, and higher economic returns. The new facility is a replacement for the newly finished addition/renovation, which opened in 2018. The facility was later destroyed by a tornado in December 2021. The new facility is 52,324 square feet. The space is broken out into 3 areas, learning/education, administration and the lab wings. The building uses modern safety and energy efficiency standards. The Grain Center includes a large multi-purpose space for large events, conference room, smart classrooms, demonstration classrooms, research laboratories, offices for faculty, staff and students, and food preparation rooms.
