| Brief History: | The need for more office space
and classrooms led to the construction in 1950 of a
new building that would house the agriculture, biology and library departments. The building
was completed the following year and was simply named the Agriculture - Biology - Library
(ABL) Building. The Library would out grow its designated area in the early 1960's and would
relocate to a new facility in 1967. Since that date the Agriculture and Biology Departments
continue to operate in the building. On October 23,1970, the Agriculture - Biology Building was
renamed Brehm Hall in honor of Dr. C. E. Brehm, President of the University of Tennessee
(1946-1959). In 1975, a project to remodel and modernize Brehm Hall was initiated and
completed.
