The Louisiana State University Animal & Food Sciences Laboratory Building — a two-story, state-of-the-art, Type II Protected Research Laboratory Facility — houses three departments of the LSU AgCenter: The School of Animal Sciences, School of Nutrition and Food Sciences, and the School of Renewable Natural Resources — as well as the AgCenter Biotechnology Laboratory. The $14 million research and teaching facility provides the space and technologies necessary to advance each discipline, attract more students, and put LSU at the forefront of animal and food science research.

The building provides offices for faculty and staff as well as desk space for graduate students. Classrooms and conference rooms feature the latest audio/visual technology, while the spacious research labs offer $3 million of new equipment. This will allow university researchers to remain on the cutting edge of studies that will improve the health of Louisiana’s children and families.
