Newell Hall
 

S.Exterior (March 1999)
 
The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station moved to the University of Florida in 1905 when its host school, Florida Agricultural College in Lake City, was abolished.  In 1910, a new building opened on UF's Stadium Road as the home of the Experiment Station whose work had been carried out in Thomas Hall.  The building's  surrounding grounds were landscaped to provide hands-on research for students. The Experiment Station building was designed in Collegiate Gothic style by William Edwards and built by the J. J. Cain Company.   The building was renovated in 1943 under the direction of Rudolph Weaver. In 1944, it was named for noted entomologist Dr. Wilmon E. Newell, a director of the Station and provost for Agriculture.

Newell Hall was added to the National Register in 1979.  It  is also 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.
