Wienhoff asked them ultimately to dream bigger.
Officials cut the ribbon on that dream Thursday, the 19,750 square-foot, $7.5 million Kreher Agriculture Center that provides cutting-edge technology to students, like combine and welding simulators and state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories and features an animal science pavilion. This is not what I remember a college building to look like, joked Wienoff, a Springfield certified public accountant. This is truly high tech.
Demonica Kemper Architects, LLC, of Chicago designed the building. Hanson Professional Services, Martin Engineering Co. and Massie Massie & Associates, all of Springfield, were also involved with the project. Evans Construction Co. of Springfield was the general contractor.
