Campus Facilities
The Food Science program is in the Science and Technology Center (STC). This state-of-the-art facility is also home to Animal Science, Applied Plant Science, Computer Science, Computer Information Technology, and Electrical Engineering. Construction on the building finished in the Fall of 2016, and it has served BYU-Idaho students ever since.

The STC has several specialized labs. These labs support a variety of hands-on learning and research activities in the Food Science program. Lab spaces allow food product development and processing, sensory evaluation (taste testing), food analysis, and mentored research.

Instead of one large processing lab, the Food Science program has multiple food processing spaces for general purpose, dairy, and meat. The Dairy and Meat processing facilities are government-inspected and can produce products for commercial sale.
