History

Waters Hall was completed in three stages. This structure was conceived during the administration of President Waters to group the Departments of Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry, Agricultural Economics and Milling into one area. The east wing of this building was completed in 1913 and the matching west wing was built about ten years later during the presidency of Dr. W.M. Jardine. A center portion was added in 1952 to connect the two wings. The interior of the east wing was gutted by fire in 1959. Hibbs and Pettit, Architects of Wichita, Kansas redesigned the interior of this wing. They also remodeled the interior of the west wing in 1964. This large building was named in honor of Dr. Henry Jackson Waters, sixth president of Kansas State College.
