WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Students, faculty and staff of the Purdue University College of Agriculture officially opened the doors to a pair of new facilities with the beginning of the spring semester on Jan. 8.
The Hobart and Russell Creighton Hall of Animal Sciences (approximately 53,200 sq. ft.) is home to faculty and staff offices for the Animal Sciences department, USDA-Agricultural Research Service’s Livestock Behavior Unit and staff of Indiana animal regulatory agencies.
Creighton Hall also contains the administrative suite and the student services suite, state-of-the-art research and teaching classrooms and laboratories, conference rooms, and open collaborative spaces. The Land O’Lakes Center for Experiential Learning (approximately 13,050 square feet) is home to the Boilermaker Butcher Block and the meat and protein science teaching and research classrooms and laboratories. The Purina Pavilion (approximately 6,750 sq.ft.) is a multi-purpose space equipped for live animals and large audiences with built-in bleachers and technology including sound, audio and video.
Scott Radcliffe’s Applied Animal Nutrition (ANSC 324) was the first class held in Creighton Hall, concluding a construction project that began with the approval of funding granted by Purdue’s Board of Trustees on May 15, 2015. Ground was broken on the $60 million project on Nov. 6, 2015.
