The Indiana Corn and Soybean Innovation Center (ICSC) is a multi-user facility that serves Purdue researchers and students. The 25,500 square foot facility has three large labs that support research through plant processing, seed and plant analysis, threshing and shelling, grinding, seed treating, weighting and other physical plant measurements. ICSC also provides a 5,000 square-foot high bay space to allow for innovative tool development, such as large-scale ground based sensing equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The facility is part of an university-wide initiative called Purdue Moves. The building opened August 2016 and activities have been fully subsidized up to this point.
