It is located on the teaching farm complex that also includes the beef, sheep and swine teaching units. The unit is utilized for teaching and research activities with broilers, layers, turkeys, and other avian species. At least six courses are taught annually at the farm. Three animal science faculty and a number of faculty from other departments in the College of Agriculture, the College of Veterinary Medicine, and from the USDA National Animal Disease Center utilize the birds and farm facilities for their research.

The first ISU Poultry Farm was located where the Towers Dorms are currently located. The current Poultry Farm was built in 1963 and covers 11 acres. The Poultry Science Center is the single farm within the department that provides the facilities and labor to maintain programs of excellence in research and instruction with avian species.
