University of Wisconsin to add on dairy plant, meat science lab
A dairy plant addition and a new meat science and muscle biology laboratory are on the drawing board for the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with half the money to build them being raised privately by the dairy and the meat industries, respectively. The naming rights are available for both projects, with the meat lab requiring a $10 million donation, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
"These two projects are linked to vibrant state industries," said Heidi Zoerb, a spokeswoman for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Industries in other states have stepped up to help build academic buildings elsewhere, she said.
