An- nual production at the center's winery is not expected to exceed 400 cases per year. An approximately half-acre site next to the teaching winery will be planted beginning this spring. Brock plans to grow a total of about 500 Arandell vines rang- ing in age from new cuttings to six-year-old plants so that stu- dents and others can observe the differences in the age of the vines. He chose Arandell (a mid-season red wine grape) partly because it is one of the newest grape variet- ies developed by the breeding program at Cornell University's New York State Agricultural Ex- periment Station and partly be- cause it has a high level of natural disease resistance. Since the cen- ter and its vineyard will have many people passing by, Brock thought a varietal requiring as few sprays as possible w o u l d b e a g o o d idea. Construction on the Viticulture and Wine Center began in October 2013 with Massa Construction of Geneva, N.Y., as the general contrac- tor for the building; Edge Architecture PLLC of Rochester, N.Y., worked with LaBella Associates on the design for the project. State Sen. Michael Nozzolio from Fayette, N.Y., in Seneca County and Assembly minority leader Brian Kolb of Canandai- gua, N.Y., helped secure grant funding from the state to cover $3.25 million of the approxi- mately $3.65 million cost for the center. The FLCC Foundation and FLCC Student Corp. also contributed to the project. —Linda Jones McKee "the new building will be a better learning environment." —Paul Brock, Finger Lakes Community College —from page 75
