Griffin-Floyd
Hall
The College of Agriculture
Building, designed in Collegiate
Gothic style by architect William
A. Edwards, opened in 1912. Detailed reliefs representing
cornucopias decorate its arched entrances. The Agriculture Building
was later named for Major Wilbur L. Floyd, an assistant dean of the College
of Agriculture, 1915-38. Dr. Floyd was a professor of agriculture,
biology, and physics.

Used for storage for
many years, Floyd Hall was renovated in 1992 with the funding support
of UF benefactor Ben Hill Griffin, Jr., and the building was renamed in
his honor.
-
Griffin-Floyd
Hall was added to the National Register in 1979. It is a part of
the University of Florida Campus Historic District, a collection of buildings
added to the National Register as an historic district in 1989.
