OSU Advances Animal Agriculture with New Waterman Dairy

It's a new state-of-the-art dairy facility

The Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory in Columbus will soon be home to The Ohio State University (OSU) College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) new state-of-the-art dairy facility, replacing the outdated 1972 structure demolished in March.

"We're making exciting progress," said Graham Cochran, CFAES associate dean for operations. "Construction will start soon with an anticipated completion in spring 2025. The project will bring a modern small-scale, fully autonomous dairy to the CFAES Columbus campus, supporting our work for years to come."

The new dairy, located on the site of the previous dairy at Waterman as part of the 261-acre lab, will be equipped with leading-edge technology from Lely North America.
