Frank B. Morrison Hall Dedicated at Cornell

Frank B. Morrison Hall, Cornell University's $4,500,000 animal husbandry building, was dedicated September 12 and 13.

As keynote speaker, New York GOVERNOR NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER said the building was dedicated "not only to the memory of an outstanding man, not only to agricultural progress, but to a better future for mankind."

The new building, of natural brick and limestone, contains over 300 rooms in approximately 133,000 sq. ft. of floor space. Included are offices; six lecture rooms, with one seating 314; five teaching laboratories; 20 research laboratories; two conference rooms; small-animal quarters; and special rooms for X-ray studies, small- and large-animal surgery, microbiological assays, and electronic data processing. A seminar room, reading room, and library are located on the building's third floor.

Of special interest in the meat studies area is the modern slaughter floor, a carbon dioxide hog immobilizer for humane slaughtering, a $10,000 temperature-humidity controlled smoke-house, and a meat sales room.
