Animal
Continued from Page 5
“I think it is one of the most
unique buildings from that age,”
he said. “The chief income of that
time was agriculture. “To ac
knowledge this, many of the
largest ranches were asked to
brand their names into the wood.
“The ranches I am talking
about were huge,” Rector said.
“They spanned over 350,000
square feet to 550,000 square feet.
They were asked to come and
brand the building to bring a coun
try and ranch flare.”
In 1976, the Kleberg Building
was built and the animal sci
ence department moved to West
Campus.
In 1978, the rangeland ecology
and management department
moved into the vacant building.
Rector said the rangeland ecology
and management department first
gained the second and fourth floors
but did not acquire the whole build
ing.
Today, the first floor houses
the offices of the department’s
graduate students, and the base
ment still contains the water labs.
There are three major classrooms
and one auxiliary classroom.
In 1986, the meats lab was
transferred to the meat science and
technology center on West Cam
pus; but before the switch the an
imal industries housed all meat
slaughtering for the animal science
department.
Rector said the building has not
undergone much reconstruction,
but has adjusted with the times.
“This building will last many
more years,” he said. “We have
never experienced major prob
lems. We have had a problem
with the phone lines, and the
only time we have had plumbing
or leaking problems was when
the water lab was left on. In the
’60s, the University went from all
male to allowing females, so we
had construction done to add
women’s restrooms.”
Rector said the buiding stands
out in his memory and the mem
ory of others.
“I remember when Harrison,
one of the original designers
came to visit the building.” he
said. “He came in 1982 with his
son. He was really old at the time
and his son explained to me that
he wanted to see the building be
cause he felt it was one of the best
buildings built.”

“There is a lump sum to the
University that is funded by the
state for education in general,”
Goldwater said.
“The average is about 65 to 70
cents per square foot for building
maintenace.
“The funding is used on
whichever building is deemed the
highest priority, which is deter
mined by the health or safety
risk,” he said.
Most endowments have an
amount of principal or capital
that is not spent but is used for
the operating budget.
Recurring operating funds are
what fund the databases.
“The endowment funded the
initial purchase that made up the
Barclay Center and also funds
some business databases, espe
cially those that deal with mar
keting,” McGeachin said.
“We spend the interest that is
derived every year. Now, the only
expense that comes out is recur
ring interest,” he said.
Many more of the databases are
funded through the library through
the Material Access Funds.
“It doesn’t matter where you
are, you have access to the same
databases.
It first started out as a local area
network, and Evans had a separate
local area network.
Now they are linked, and it just
makes one bigger local area net
work.
However, the Barclay Center
does not serve as a computer lab
for general student needs.
