| In 1893, the legislature of the Commonwealth appropriated funds for the construction of the new stock facility. Construction commenced later in 1893 and was completed in 1894 during the administration of [[g:goodell_henry_h|Henry Hill Goodell]]. In the Jan. 1894 annual report: "Much care has been taken in planning them, and it is believed sanitary requirements will be much more fully met than in our old buildings. The new buildings when completed will afford storage for about 300 tons of hay, 325 tons of silage, several car-loads of grain, 144 tons of roots, and a large supply of absorbents and bedding for the stables. They will accommodate 100 head of cattle, 14 horses, 75 sheep and 80 hogs. They will provide convenient storage for vehicles and implements and contain a commodious tool-room and a repair shop. In connection with them, in one wing, we have accommodations for a dairy school, as well as for handling our large amount of milk. This wing is to contain a boiler-room, with coal and tool closets ; a room for ice, which will contain over 300 tons; a room for the operation of heavy machinery (separators, butter-accumulators, etc.); a room for churns, butter-workers, etc.; a room for Cooley creamers, a large lecture-room and a laboratory for the examination of milk and its products. I sincerely hope it may be found possible to equip the barn with electric power and lights, and I believe that in its large and substantial boiler and engine rooms should be generated electricity to supply all of our college buildings." A very detailed as built description of the main buildings and wings can be found in the [[https://archive.org/details/annualreport3133mass/page/n153/mode/2up?q=barn | Jan. 1895 annual report]]. | In 1893, the legislature of the Commonwealth appropriated funds for the construction of the new stock facility.
