Exciting developments are underway at the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory’s Multispecies Animal Learning Center (MALC). 

With blueprints transforming into reality, a beam signing was held on May 22. Key stakeholders from the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) gathered to celebrate the construction progress and honor the significance of the project, not only as an exciting addition to the university, but also as a resource for the wider community and generations of Buckeyes to come. 

The CFAES Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory’s Multispecies Animal Learning Center (MALC) facility is coming to life as crews have begun installation of electrical conduits in the mezzanine area as well as plumbing for restrooms. Next, they’re preparing to pour concrete slabs for the floor base, followed by interior partitions and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in. 

The Waterman – Multispecies Animal Learning Center (MALC) facility is beginning to take shape as crews have finished pouring the concrete foundations for the main arena and the structural steel has begun to arrive to start going vertical.

As highlighted by the American School and University, The Ohio State University is building a state-of-the-art dairy facility at the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory. 

"With the latest technologies being installed on Ohio Dairy farms, this new dairy facility will provide more opportunities for hands-on experiences that prepare students for careers in the industry," said Jason Hartschuh, a field specialist in dairy management and precision livestock. 

Construction of a new state-of-the-art dairy facility, adjacent to the Multispecies Animal Learning Center (MALC) facility, will soon begin to take shape at the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory. The Waterman Dairy will be located on the site of the previous dairy at Waterman.

As highlighted by Ohio State News, The Ohio State University broke ground on the $52 million Multispecies Animal Learning Center (MALC), which will advance student learning and workforce development in animal agriculture.
