The University of Kentucky is spending $70 million to renovate Scovell Hall, which was constructed in 1903. Carmen Agouridis is the senior associate dean for the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. She said Scovell Hall began as UK’s Agricultural Experiment Station – and was built on what was then the outskirts of campus.
“Scoville Hall changed from being predominantly a College of Agriculture-type building to also then having other departments in there. With this renovation, we're coming back more onto main campus. So the College of Agriculture in some ways is reclaiming, I'd say all of Scovell Hall.”
