College of Agriculture Building Swimming Pool?
Scott Sefton surveys the damage in the Vocational Agricultural Association student lounge on the main floor of the Agriculture Building on Oct. 10, as students arriving that day found that unnamed persons (perhaps from another ollege, and dressed in red?) had spent the night taping plastic over the whole lounge floor and up the walls and overturned tables - filling the room with hundreds of gallons of water. There's even a dirt island in the middle, with a flag sporting an evil grinning red face. Sefton, an SVAA vice-president, says his group's members, students in the Diploma in Agriculture program, begin classes the day cafter Thanksgiving, and often get a prank welcome. He said they'd begin the cleanup that afternoon.

College of Agriculture Building - Architectural Model
Architect's concept of the proposed Agriculture Building.
Bio/Historical Note: Image appeared in a 1985 issue of The Green & White.
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.
