Constructed in 1927 as the OSU Poultry Science Building, it provided expanded classroom space for the College of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to this structure, the college had worked out of a 1910s small frame building used for instructional and Experiment Station work. The animal husbandry department was established in 1907. James Dryden, a prominent poultry breeder and recently elected member of the Poultry Hall of Fame, was an early head of the Department of Poultry Science.
