Have to admit that I don't keep up with all the building projects on campus so maybe Barry or someone else can answer a few questions. What departments and labs are housed in the Henning Building? Have the Ag departments, labs, etc, been moved already to some of the newer buildings on E. Park? What is the purpose of the new Taj Mahal (other than to enrich a few high rollers on the BOT)?

Henning is about 25% Ag Labs, 75% office and classroom for ag

If this much classrooms/office - shouldn’t it cost less (and generate less revenue) than lab space?

As far as university offices go, it depends on whether it's for grad students...

faculty...

or a dean.

Harder to do in ag where a lot of the classes contain hands-on labs.

Harder to do in ag than where a lot of the classes contain hands-on labs.

You can order a cow through Amazon for the lab component of class.

I see you referred to Dambly as a Grifter...this is no small scale swindling.

 

[interrobang]

I'm sure the A9 will quickly speak up against it.
