BOZEMAN, MONT.
Montana State University began construction on the $16 million Animal Bioscience building in Bozeman in September of 2008. The three-story, 40,000-sf facility will house classrooms, research laboratories, and a teaching lab for anatomy, physiology, animal nutrition, and genetics. A technology transfer room will provide interactive video capabilities allowing information to be shared throughout the state. The project broke ground in June of 2008 with completion slated for 2010. The facility is being constructed by Swank Enterprises of Valier, Mont. Additionally, a $24 million USDA-ARS research facility for bovine genomics will be constructed adjacent to the Animal Science Teaching Building.
