Purdue University, Food Science Building

Purdue University’s Food Science Building houses highly specialized research and teaching labs, including a cutting-edge pilot lab functioning as a model manufacturing area.
The use of vibrant colors makes up for the lack of windows in labs by bringing a sense of life into each. The rich harvest colors of caramels, greens, reds and blues are repeated throughout the building, and are suggestive of the department’s strong ties to agriculture.
In addition to the research and teaching labs, the facility boasts a plush conference room and a modern computer lab, which has the latest in software technology.
One special feature of the facility is the wine cellar, housing Purdue’s extensive wine collection. Passing through the wrought-iron gates, guests find themselves surrounded by rich wood and leather, creating a pristine dining area.
This new facility is an excellent start to preparing students to become future leaders of the food industry, offering continuous research and learning opportunities.
