One Health Innovation District breaks ground on new research institute
The One Health Innovation District announced plans for a new 150,000-square-foot Research Institute anchored by Purdue University and Elanco Animal Health. The project aims to advance research and collaboration in animal health, diagnostics, and translational science, with space dedicated to laboratories, equipment, and partner collaboration.
What is happening
A new shared-use facility, the One Health Research Institute, is being developed within the One Health Innovation District. The institute is designed to host advanced laboratories, collaborative spaces, and core research infrastructure to support discovery and commercialization in One Health—an approach that links human health, animal health, and environmental health. Purdue University is named as the academic anchor, with Elanco Animal Health as a key industry partner. The project envisions a large, 150,000-square-foot space dedicated to research, incubator activity, and facilities for veterinary partners.
Who is affected
The primary beneficiaries are researchers, students, and faculty at Purdue University, along with scientists and partners at Elanco Animal Health and other affiliated organizations. The facility is described as shared-use, meaning multiple research teams and industry partners could access the space and equipment. Local stakeholders in Indianapolis and the broader region may benefit from new jobs, collaboration opportunities, and potential economic activity related to life sciences and veterinary sectors.
Practical next steps for readers
If you are a researcher or industry partner: monitor university and company announcements for timelines on construction, access programs, and incubation opportunities. For students and academics: look for calls for proposals, collaborative projects, and internship placements connected to One Health research. For local residents and policymakers: watch for job creation figures, funding updates, and any environmental or community engagement plans tied to the district’s development. Communicate with the institutions involved to understand how to participate in upcoming programs or partnerships.
