OSU Breaks Ground on New Multi-species Animal Learning Center

It should be completed in winter 2025

The Ohio State University (OSU) broke ground on a new high-tech farm animal education facility that will serve as the headquarters for students to learn the science and methodology of raising livestock; it's expected to be completed in winter 2025.

The Multispecies Animal Learning Center, which will be situated on the 261-acre Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory, began construction Jan. 30. Students and faculty in agriculture can use the space to learn how to care for a wide range of farm livestock and perform academic research on agriculture methodology. 

The center will also teach the public what goes into food science and livestock care, allowing tours of the facility that will include a public viewing area of animal barns and interactive learning displays, according to the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences website.
