Morrill Hall

Morrill Hall was constructed to fill the need for a library and museum, as well as a chapel. Named to honor the Senator who had sponsored the Morrill bill, which had established the land-grant college system, Morrill Hall was built at a cost of less than $30,000. Since its construction, it has been home to zoology, entomology, and geology classes and labs, Agriculture Extension Offices, the Printing Office, Photo Service, and even a barber shop from 1905-1908. Morrill Hall now houses the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, the Center for Visual Learning in Textiles and Clothing, and the Christian Petersen Art Museum.
