GROUNDBREAKING FOR JUSTIN HALL ADDITION OCT. 8

MANHATTAN -- On the edge of the western frontier Hattie Cheseldine taught 12 1xbet online sports betting sewing, dressmaking, millinery and how to dismantle and reassemble the one sewing machine in their classroom.

Their 1873 classroom was the chapel stage in the old Bluemont College building. The young women were part of the new domestic science program at Kansas State Agricultural College, one of the nation's first land-grant institutions, now known as Kansas State University.

Nearly 14 decades later the K-State College of Human Ecology's plans for new classrooms involve comfortable stadium-style seats and technology the first 1xbet online sports betting would have thought possible only in a Jules Verne novel.

The ultramodern classrooms will be part of a new privately financed addition to Justin Hall, home of the college, on the 1xbet online sports betting campus. Groundbreaking ceremonies will be at 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8, near the southwest corner of Justin. The event is open to the public.

The addition will cost about .4 million, according to Virginia Moxley, dean of the College of Human Ecology, and will be built to LEED -- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design -- Silver Certification Standards, using sustainable design principles with materials, daylight, energy and water.

1xbet online sports betting 's domestic science program -- today called human ecology -- outgrew the stage and several buildings on campus.

Justin Hall was dedicated 50 years ago. The original 100,000-square-foot building, dedicated in 1960, carried a .12 million price tag. Everything was top of the line: 28 teaching labs, 23 research labs and a lecture hall that seated 229. The building was even air-conditioned.

The building was named for Margaret M. Justin, who became the nation's youngest dean in 1923 and led the college for 31 years.

"Justin Hall has aged well," Moxley said. "But today our student enrollment has doubled. We teach more 1xbet online sports betting , conduct more research and offer more degree programs than ever. Our mission has grown more complex and more vital.

"To meet these challenges we need more classrooms, more research facilities and more technology," she said.

The 15,000-square-foot addition will house space for student conferences and mentoring, the college's Personal Financial Planning Institute, student collaborative workspace and three classrooms that will accommodate more than 100 1xbet online sports betting each. The classrooms will be available for 1xbet online sports betting campuswide.

The Justin Hall addition follows the lively 1xbet online sports betting tradition, Moxley said.

"We built the first building for human ecology in the world. Kedzie Hall was built in 1898 specifically for the department of household economy and domestic science," she said. “We continue to evolve and grow."

More than 100 years ago the 1xbet online sports betting had to learn to fix sewing machines because many lived far from repair services, and self-sufficiency was both the norm and a necessity.

"Today our 1xbet online sports betting study subjects that weren't even in the 19th century lexicon, subjects such as conflict resolution, gerontology and nutritional epidemiology," Moxley said.

"But our design 1xbet online sports betting still work with sewing machines -- industrials, overlocks and computers -- but no treadles."
