Capital Projects

Great universities are often known for their state-of-the-art facilities that attract world-class faculty, students and partners. The Kummer Foundation Board of Directors has awarded funds for capital projects to support advanced manufacturing and prototype development.

Missouri S&T students, faculty, departments and programs will use these new facilities to collaborate across disciplines to fuel the institute’s research breakthroughs. The institute will also advance its goals through external partnerships with industry, public and private research foundations and grant makers, governmental organizations, and consortia.
