4 New research station valued at $1.7 million for poultry projects The $1.7 million Arkell Poultry Research Centre is expected to be completed by early August, with the official opening scheduled for September 5. The centre is being built by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services and will be operated by the university under contract with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Located at the Arkell Research Station, the centre, consisting of six buildings — a special study unit, a brooding and rearing unit, an adult unit, a service unit, a processing unit and a turkey unit - will replace older poultry research facilities now located on campus.
