View looking northwest of the Livestock Pavilion; blurry piece of machinery visible in foreground.

Bio/Historical Note: The Livestock Pavilion, one of the five original campus buildings, was designed by Brown and Vallance and constructed between 1910-1912. Built of red brick, slate and translucent glass panels (some of which could be opened for ventilation), it included a large show arena with seating. The Pavilion had a slaughter room and cold storage for the butchery courses. It was demolished in 1986.

Bio/Historical Note: Kirk Hall is one of two buildings designed by Frank J. Martin of Portnall and Stock Associate Architects, and was built between 1947-1949. Kirk Hall and the John Mitchell Building share many similarities in materials, form and detail. Originally called the School of Agriculture Building, Kirk Hall was renamed in 1962 after Lawrence Eldred Kirk, who served as Dean of Agriculture from 1937 to 1946.

Bio/Historical Note: The Prince Albert Mintos were a professional ice hockey team in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. They played in the Saskatchewan Professional Hockey League from 1909-1911. The Mintos won the league title in 1909 after the Saskatoon Stratchonas were disqualified for using ineligible players. They then played the Edmonton Pros for the Fit-Reform Trophy (Western Canadian Championship) and were defeated. The club repeated as SPHL champions in 1911, beating the Saskatoon Westerns in a playoff. They advanced to challenge for the Stanley Cup, and lost to Port Arthur Lake City 12-6 in a qualification series. The Mintos then transitioned to senior competitions, playing for the Allan Cup. The Mintos was later the name of a junior team playing in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and is now (2023) used by a team in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.

Bio/Historical Note: The Department of Chemistry was established in 1910, and in 1912 conducted its first laboratory instruction in a poorly ventilated space in the basement of the College Building. The Chemistry Building opened in 1924 and was one of the last of the original stone collegiate gothic buildings designed by the Montreal architect David Brown. The building was sheathed in greystone and the façade has a castellated roof line and an arched portal. The four-storey building was built to house the colleges of Home Economics and Pharmacy, and the Department of Chemistry. It was the most elaborate of the early campus buildings. Designed specifically to meet the needs of teaching and research in chemistry, it was a far cry from the makeshift laboratories in the basement of the College Building and reflected the confidence of the 1920s. It faced not inward toward the Bowl and the original buildings, but outward to what was expected to be an expanding future. Dubbed by one critic as an “expensive show to make an impressive front,” it was to have a second identical north wing but depression and war brought a halt to all thoughts of capital expansion. The first floor was composed almost entirely of classrooms, with two small laboratories. An auditorium was located on the second floor, with a tile dome rising 68 feet, as well as laboratories featuring acid-proof lining on all fume vents and drains. Storerooms were located in the basement, with a sub-basement containing the ventilation, heating and sewage systems. The Chemistry Building was finally expanded with a second wing and was renamed in honour of Dr. Thorbergur Thorvaldson, professor and dean of Chemistry from 1919-1959. The Thorvaldson Building opened on 6 June 1966.
