This three-storey brick building on the Fort Garry Campus of the University of Manitoba was designed by local architects Samuel Hooper and Victor Horwood, and built in 1912 as part of the Manitoba Agricultural College. It originally housed the Department of Agricultural Engineering, and was built with brick and limestone for fireproofing measures.
