History

Durland is the first of three phases of the engineering complex extending over the old football practice field. The first phase was completed in 1976 at a cost of over $3,000,000. Rathbone, the second phase was completed in 1982 for approximately $8,000,000. And Fiedler, the third phase, was completed in 2000 for approximately $12 million. This was the last building to be erected during the administration of President James A. McCain. It was named for Dean Merrill A. Durland who was graduated from Kansas State College with honors in 1918. He began his teaching career at Kansas State the following year and thirty years later became Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture and Director of the Engineering Experiment Station.
