The Henry Bellmon Research Center at Oklahoma State University is a cutting-edge facility dedicated to interdisciplinary research. Named in honor of Henry Louis Bellmon (Sept. 3, 1921-Sept. 29, 2009), Oklahoma's first Republican governor and a staunch advocate for education and research, the HBRC was dedicated on Sept. 9, 2011. This $70 million, 124,000-square-foot facility brings together over 200 faculty members, post-doctoral students, and graduate students to tackle critical issues related to energy, food safety, cancer treatment and more. Located at the corner of Farm Road and Monroe Street, the HBRC has advanced research tools, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance machines, and is designed to foster collaboration across multiple disciplines.
