WSU to expand its Knott Dairy Center
June 9, 2009, 4:55 pm
“It’s in our vision,” said Pete Jacoby, associate dean for the college.
The facility is located on Country Club Road, about three miles southwest of Pullman, Jacoby said.
Aside from serving as a dairy, the facility also serves as a teaching and research laboratory. About 180 cows are milked every day and the milk goes to WSU’s Ferdinand’s for dairy products.
Jacoby said college officials have been working with the dairy industry to try to identify the educational needs with its Department of Animal Sciences.
The Dairy industry paid for a consultant, Ted Gribble from Texas based five-G Associates, to work with the college to design the expansion of the Dairy.
The expansion would include, a classroom, new barns, and a milking parlor, among other things. It would cost anywhere from $20 million to $23 million. Most likely it would be built in different phases, and funding would be a mix of donations and state funding.
