The Turfgrass Research, Outreach and Education Center consists of approximately 10 acres of turfgrass research. The site includes both a USGA specification research green and a native soil research green. Recently, we have completed the installation of an automated rain-out shelter that is used for research on turfgrass water-use and drought tolerance.
