Animal and Food Sciences Laboratories Building
Construction of the two-story, 49,000-square-foot building began in early 2012. It cost about $14 million, which was funded by a direct allocation from the Louisiana Legislature.
The new building’s state-of-the-art labs are outfitted with about $3 million of new equipment, according to Phil Elzer, AgCenter associate vice chancellor for animal sciences and natural resources. The building features shared spaces that can be used by all researchers as well as labs that meet departments’ unique needs, such as an oyster research facility and a sensory lab for food testing. It also includes a classroom, offices, conference rooms and workspace for graduate students.
“This centralized facility will foster collaboration among our scientists and give them access to technologies that will help meet evolving food and animal research needs,” Elzer said. “It’s going to advance our research and teaching capabilities to a new level.”
The Animal and Food Sciences Laboratories Building is located behind the Food Science Building and Francioni Hall on Forestry Lane on LSU Baton Rouge campus. It is near the LSU AgCenter Dairy Store.

I was a student worker in the Department of Animal Sciences during my time at LSU. I'm sure this building is much nicer than Francioni Hall.
