Building History
Ackert Hall, built in 1970 on the former ROTC drill field, serves as a major academic facility housing administrative offices, laboratories, classrooms and lecture rooms. The building is named after James E. Ackert, who joined the biology faculty in 1913 as an assistant professor of zoology and worked as a parasitologist at the experiment station.
In 2002, the university's biology program expanded with the completion of Chalmers Hall, an addition to Ackert Hall that added approximately 62,000 square feet of research and educational space.
