AgriNovus Indiana reported on 2026-10-06 that the One Health Innovation District unveiled plans for a 150,000-square-foot One Health Research Institute in Indianapolis. The announcement names Purdue University as the academic and research anchor and Elanco Animal Health as the industry and innovation anchor; the planned facility is described as a shared-use building with advanced research laboratories, collaboration space and facilities supporting animal health and veterinary partners.
