This project constructs a three-story addition to house the Center for Dairy Research (CDR), a milk intake facility with three storage silos, and a small addition to house a two-story dryer. Space on the basement, first, and second levels of the existing dairy plant will be renovated. The existing milk intake area, the existing drying tower, a mechanical space at the northwest corner of Babcock Hall, and a stair tower will be demolished to make room for the addition.
