Bio/Historical Note: Original plans for the Agriculture Building had it joining Kirk Hall, the John Mitchell Building and the Crop Science Building, but the architects, Folstad-Friggstad, were instructed to provide “a highly visible complex for the College,” proposed a stand-alone building intended to state the importance of the College of Agriculture to the University. It is the first major building on campus clad with glass rather than brick or stone. The original structure cost $91 million and was constructed between 1988-1991. It consisted of five floors, with 164 research labs, 38 teaching labs, 182 offices, 9 classrooms, 4 computer training facilities, 6 conference rooms, and 167 controlled environment plant growth facilities. In addition it has an impressive inner courtyard, the Atrium, and is home to the Kenderdine Gallery, named in honour of the University’s first art instructor, Gus Kenderdine. The structure had been designed to enable future expansion, and by 2000 a sixth floor was added at a construction cost of $10 million. The new addition was intended to house Animal and Poultry Science, Food Science, and Bioinsecticide Research.

Bio/Historical Note: Dave Adolph, a native of Swift Current, played 117 games on defence for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies hockey team and won a national championship as co-captain in 1983. Adolph’s tenure as a head coach in university athletics began in 1989 at the helm of the Lethbridge Pronghorns, winning 32 games. Adolph took over coaching his alma mater in 1983. He amassed a 488-334-46 Canada West record between the two teams. In the 2014-2015 season Adolph broke the U SPORTS wins record once held by University of Alberta coach Clare Drake. A four-time Canada West Coach of the Year (1998, 2000, 2017, 2019), Adolph led Canada to bronze medals at the FISU Universiade in 2003 (Naples, Italy) and again in 2015 (Granada, Spain). He was also behind the bench for the Nagano Cup in Japan in 1996, leading Canada to a silver medal finish. In 2004, he was named an assistant coach with Hockey Canada for the Lotto Cup in Slovakia, finishing third. As head coach of the Huskies, Adolph has guided his team to 25 consecutive post-season appearances, seven Canada West Championship titles and 16 appearances at the University Cup. Adolph retired from coaching in December 2020. Former Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock replaced Adolph.

Bio/Historical Note: The Seed Barn, also known as the Feed Barn, Field Husbandry Barn, and Crop Science Seed Barn, was built by the federal government ca. 1915. It was originally located on the southeast side of the intersection of College and Campus drives, near the Saskatoon Field House. The designer and builder are unknown. It became the property of the university in the 1950s and was used by the Department of Field Husbandry. The barn held horses which were used as draft animals until the advent of the tractor. Later the barn was used for seed storage and crop science research. When a new seed storage facility was built in 1972, the barn has only seen ancillary uses such as storage and staging. The 80-plus ton barn was moved on the morning of 30 October 2013 to make room for a future hotel and student housing in the northeast precinct of College Quarter. The structure now rests on a grade-level foundation at its new location on the northwest corner of East Road and Preston Avenue on campus. It is used for cold storage of grounds maintenance equipment. The move itself was done at a cost of $35,000. The budget for the entire project was $180,000, which included the move and clean up of the former barn site. The barn is being used as a storage facility by the Department of Plant Sciences (2021).
