The Poultry Teaching and Research Facility (PTRF) is a 28,000 GSF poultry research facility operated by the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) located at 1835 Buford Place on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus. Originally built in 1982, PTRF has been adapted to include teaching and laboratory functions dedicated to performing intensive small scale poultry (chickens and young turkeys) research studies. The HVAC system was installed when the building was originally constructed but no changes have been made since the 1990s.
