The University of Maine is working on 10 major capital projects on its campus that will be completed in 2026. The Sustainable Aquaculture Workforce Innovation Center will be a new space for one of the top marine science programs in the country. The space, which will be completed in time for the fall semester, will be used to research sustainable economic development, food security, and climate and community resilience. The building will have several 8-foot tanks and an area for lobster research. Other projects that will finish next year include renovating a PFAS laboratory, funding blueberry research in Jonesboro and building a sawmill training facility.
