Bill and Cheryl Swanson, longtime supporters of Cal Poly, have donated $1 million to the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Science’s JUSTIN and J. LOHR Center for Wine and Viticulture.
The gift will fund the Swanson Center of Effort Conference Hall within the grange building. The 2,728 square-foot hall will be used as a central gathering place where academia and the community will come together to network, learn and celebrate. Lectures, meetings, and events, all with a focus on industry and student enrichment, will be held in the conference hall.
Construction of the JUSTIN and J. LOHR Center for Wine and Viticulture, which includes a 15,600-square-foot winery and a 12,000-square-foot grange hall, is nearing completion, with the winery schedule to be completed in September 2020 and the grange hall in March 2021.
