Crews made great progress over spring break dismantling the 93-year-old Davidson Hall on Osborne Drive, former home of the agricultural and biosystems engineering department. Less than two weeks lapsed between the photos (right and below). Much of the building — both its contents and its exterior — have been repurposed or recycled.

The ISU student chapter of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers is selling Davidson Hall bricks as a chapter fundraiser this spring. Orders may be placed online.
