Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has more than 2,400 students
MARE is one of Virginia Tech’s 13 agricultural research and Extension centers.
The late philanthropist Paul Mellon donated the 420-acre farm in 1949 for Tech’s research hub. Initial research centered on improving pasture and animal productivity while enhancing the land.
During the 1980s, an impressive gift of horses shifted the center’s research focus from cattle to horses. Today, MARE is one of the worlds leading equine research units.
