History

The University Teaching and Outreach Center (UTOC), with classrooms, equine facilities, the UMC Arena, and other facilities for animal science, was dedicated in the fall of 1993. In 1998 UMC acquired funds from the Minnesota Legislature for an addition to UTOC.  This northern addition added more stable space for UMC's growing number of horses as well as a training and breeding ring.  The addition was completed in 2000.
