Building History

Ackert Hall, built in 1970 on the site of the former ROTC drill field, is a large facility that accommodates administrative offices, laboratories, classrooms and lecture halls on the Manhattan campus. The building is named in honor of Dr. James E. Ackert, who joined the Biology Department in 1913 as an assistant professor of zoology and a parasitologist at the experiment station. In November 2002, the Division of Biology expanded with the completion of Chalmers Hall, an addition to Ackert Hall that provides an additional 62,000 square feet of research and educational space.
