Property Highlights

Former Use: The Nelson Dairy Farm was previously designated as the N.L. Towne Experimental Dairy Center. It was built in 1959 at a cost of $1.8 million. Designed in 1957-58, it was originally named after professor Norman L. Towne who taught at the college and was a past president of the Montana Dairyman�s Association. The new dairying center had �17 buildings, 2 bunker silos, and yards� concentrated on 3 acres west of the main campus. Most all of the complex was demolished in the 1980s; the barns, silos, livestock and hay sheds were all removed. Today the Milking Parlor and Office/Stock Pavilion building, buttresses for one bunker silo, foundations of the livestock buildings, and four quonset shelters are what remains.

The remediation of the Nelson Dairy Farm on the MSU Innovation Campus was perfectly timed and has helped fuel the rapid development of the innovation campus. Recently the MSU Alumni Foundation Board voted to approve an 80,000 sf professional multi tenant project a short distance from the remediation site - called Industry Bozeman. This project will be home to approximately 30 to 40 companies, startups, and solo entrepreneurs seeking to leverage the research from MSU into new businesses that will result in high paying jobs. In January of 2022, the board approved an additional Development abutting the area where the dairy farm stood with an approx 70,000 sf development that will be home to Aurora Technology. The company hopes to employ approximately 100 people with future plans to create even more jobs. Both projects will be completed in 2023. The city of Bozeman is now working with their development partner to build out the road network for the campus which will connect both projects to each other & provide access to W. Garfield Street and W. College Street.
