         1. OMPEC Compost Storage Building

            The Organic Materials Processing and Education Center (OMPEC) is the program that leads Penn State's composting efforts as a waste disposal alternative. OMPEC formed as a result of the combined efforts of students, staff, and personnel of Housing and Food Services (HFS), the Office of Physical Plant (OPP), and the College of Agricultural Sciences.
            
            The center composts food waste, landscaping debris, and animal manure that is used for campus landscaping projects, athletic field maintenance, and agricultural research and demonstration projects.
