Outside view of Bergland Laboratory

The Bergland Laboratory is actually the result of a collaborative effort among UMN Crookston, the Northwest Research and Outreach Center (NWROC), and the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI). The building serves as a center for teaching, for applied student lab experiences, and for research in the agronomic, botanical, and horticultural sciences. The facility of approximately 17,500 square feet is linked to Owen Hall and the Agricultural Research Center via enclosed walkways and provides space and equipment for teaching and research. 

Spaces provided within the facility include: environmentally controlled areas for commercial plant production; growth chambers; laboratories for chemical treatment of plants and studies in tissue culture, plant nutrition, plant pathology and photoperiodism; preparation and work areas; and storage.

    Charles Beck was born and raised in Fergus Falls, Minnesota; his work like his life is rooted in the wood and hills and fields of Ottertail County. In 1950, military service, Concordia College, the University of Iowa Graduate School behind him, he returned to his home town with his wife, Joyce and family and proceeded to stake out a career as that rarest of middle American home town creatures, a capitol A Artist, alive and unashamed. Over 45 plus years since he has created a remarkable body of work, consistent and largely immune from trends, yet still fresh, still unique, still, after all this time, evolving.
