The Ferguson Family Dairy Center, formerly the Dairy Barn, is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to dairy production and education. Located on approximately 300 acres of pasture with an additional 80 acres of tillable land, the center features a free-stall barn that houses the entire milking herd, equipped with sand bedding, a robotic milker and designated areas for pre-fresh, maternity, fresh and calf management. Located at the corner of McElroy Road and Marvista Street, the facility includes a double-six herringbone parlor with automated cow identification, milk yield recording and milking unit detachers. Named for alumni and agricultural benefactors Larry and Kayleen Ferguson, the Dairy Center provides undergraduate and graduate students hands-on experience and research opportunities, making it a vital part of OSU's agricultural education and research programs. The facilities were officially dedicated on April 5, 2018.
