Layer and Breeder Building

The 8,840 square-foot structure housed poultry, specifically layers (chickens raised for egg production) and breeders (chickens grown for selective breeders).

For six years, starting around 1988-89, the Agriculture Department used the eastern end of the building for alligator research. Later, when the building was unused, the department proposed a parking lot on the site [1].

The building, not in use since the mid-1990s, was demolished in late 2010. SHSU also removed an underground waste collection tank during this time.
