History
The stately Fairchild Hall was built in 1894 for a cost of $70,000. A minor addition came in 1903 with the construction of a second story on the building's southern end. It was originally used as the Library and Agricultural Science Hall, until that moved to the north wing of Farrell Library in 1927. Then, for a time, Fairchild Hall housed the Departments of Entomology, Geology, Zoology, History and Government, featuring exhibits of animals, birds and insects native to the region. The building's namesake is George T. Fairchild, third president of what was then Kansas State College.
