COLLEGE BUILDING
PROVINCIAL HERITAGE PROPERTY
AS ONE OF THE FIRST BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED ON CAMPUS, THE COLLEGE BUILDING REFLECTS THE PROMINENT ROLE AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION WAS TO PLAY AT THE NEWLY CREATED UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN. ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO HOUSE THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, THIS MULTI PURPOSE BUILDING QUICKLY BECAME A HUB OF CAMPUS ACTIVITY AFTER IT OPENED FOR CLASSES IN THE FALL OF 1912. THE BUILDING'S STRIKING ARCHITECTURE AND USE OF DISTINCTIVE LOCAL GREYSTONE SET THE TONE FOR MUCH OF THE CAMPUS' PHYSICAL DESIGN. OVERLOOKING A GRASSY OVAL GARDEN SPACE NOW KNOWN AS THE "BOWL", THE COLLEGE BUILDING REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS.
