Construction is scheduled to begin on a new building for the Ferguson College of Agriculture (formerly the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources) in the spring of 2021. The announcement was made at a January event, where the New Frontiers capital fundraising campaign was launched. Architectural planning and programming have already begun on the new facility, which will be located north of the Henry Bellmon Research Center on the east side of Monroe Street, diagonally across from the current Agricultural Hall. The existing building has served the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources since the late 1950s. The new facility will include innovative and flexible teaching and research laboratories, dynamic classrooms, faculty offices, robust student service programs, and a variety of strategically planned spaces to encourage collaboration, development of new OSU Extension programming, and a sense of community. The state’s 4-H headquarters also will be located in the building, plus a re-envisioned Dairy Bar. The expected completion date is the fall of 2023. New extension faculty member joins Ag Econ department Dr. Courtney Bir joined the agricultural economics department in January as an assistant professor with a joint extension research appointment. She specializes in farm management and ag finance. She received a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University in 2011 and an agribusiness degree in 2013. She received her master’s degree in agricultural economics in 2015. Last year, she completed her Ph.D. in agricultural economics at Purdue University. Dr. Bir has been working on determining if consumer preferences for agricultural products and traditional production economics can be profitably incorporated or adopted by producers. She looks forward to expanding her work to meet the needs of Oklahoma producers.
