The Poultry Science Department at Texas A&M University has a rich history, dating to 1910, that has facilitated the modernization of the poultry industry.

The new Center will be located at the highly visible and prominent location at the Poultry Farm, southeast of Easterwood Airport along Harvey Mitchell Parkway at Luther Street. The new facility is programmed to provide new instructional capabilities to teach, demonstrate, and provide hands-on educational experiences for Poultry Science students. Instructional space will include classroom space through two flat-floor multi-purpose rooms for group learning and one-tiered lecture room to support traditional teaching methodologies. Demonstration space will include a Judging Room, Egg Grading Room, and a Teaching Kitchen to support coursework that requires interactive teaching to develop critical skills. An instructional wet lab is included to teach poultry anatomy and microbiology; a poultry observatory is included to create the opportunity to observe different poultry specimens without jeopardizing the biosecurity of poultry research occurring at the farm. In addition to instructional space, three research labs are included to support field sample collection and sample processing, with analytic research to remain in other existing locations. Office is limited to support faculty when teaching on-site and for farm management and operations staff.
