Agriculture Center

The site is southwest of the the Horticulture Center, and Holleman Field. The center is bordered on the northwest by Robinson Creek.

Structures at the site included the following:

• Abattoir Building

• Animal Husbandry Building

• Dairy Building

• Farm Power Machinery Building

• Feed Formulation Building

• Greenhouse

• Horse Management Building

• Layer and Breeder Building

• Poultry Laboratory

• Swine Laboratory

• Tractor Laboratory

Student lived and worked at this "in-town" college farm in several roles and functions, including meat processing, feed mixing, and operating the college dairy. Living quarters were contained in the Animal Husbandry Building.

Two silos existed on the property, situated between the Dairy Building and Feed Formulation Building, but were never filled to full capacity. They were later dismantled and removed, with at least one moved to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Eastham Unit [3].

A tunnel under Interstate 45 connected the center with the university's dairy pasture and rodeo grounds. That land was later converted to Raven Nest Golf Club.

In Summer 2007 the property was in negotiations to be sold with plans to include two hotels and a conference center at the site [1]; the project that was to be completed in December 2007 eventually fell through [2].
