ADM Gives $1.5M to Purdue for Innovation Center
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Archer Daniels Midland Co. is donating $1.5 million to Purdue University for classroom and laboratory space.

The ADM Agricultural Innovation Center will have classroom and laboratory space for the nearly 400 undergraduate and graduate students in College of Agriculture at the West Lafayette, Ind. school.

ADM agricultural services president Craig Huss said Friday the building will aid research in creating an abundant food supply and renewable fuels for a growing world population.

Purdue president France Cordova says the project continues a longstanding relationship. ADM has recruited more students from Purdue than any other university in the past three years.

The money will come from ADM's social-investment program, ADM Cares.
