Biography/History In 1909 $30, 000 was appropriated for the Veterinary Building (Old Van Es Hall). The construction of the Veterinary Building went smoothly and by September 1909 it was nearly enclosed. The building was a two-story structure measuring 73 feet by 92 feet. The first floor contained class and dissecting rooms as well as a large clinic amphitheater in the North East corner. The second floor contained more classrooms and laboratories. On the building's west side was a good-sized barn where animals used for demonstration purposes were kept. During the 1950s, the Veterinary Building underwent two changes. In 1951 a third story was added and in 1952 it was rededicated as Van Es Laboratory in honor of Dr. Leunis Van Es. Dr. Van Es who was at the College from 1902 to 1920 served for fifteen years (1903-1918) as the head of the Veterinary Science Department and one year as Director of the Experiment Station. By the 1970s, the condition of Van Es Hall had deteriorated greatly. Tin 1972 the State Legislature appropriated $1.78 million to build a new veterinary science building and "old" Van Es was torn down in 1973.
