Photos: Construction progresses at IVCC's agricultural education center

An aerial view of the Dr. Alfred E. Wisgoski Agricultural Education Center on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, at Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby. The new facility is expected to redefine IVCC’s agriculture program, equipping the college to train and upskill agricultural workers, support the development of new technologies and promote sustainable practices. Approximately $1.6 million has been pledged toward the agricultural center, and IVCC plans to launch a community donation program later this spring. The 10,250-square-foot building is slated for occupancy in 2027. The project is supported by a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Economic Development Administration, a $240,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and a $1 million gift from the Wisgoski family.
