Horticulture Building – UGA 4604 (1963, Category 1). The Horticulture Building is located along Research Way, southeast of the Animal and Dairy Science Building. Constructed in 1963, the building is modern in character. When built, it completed the arc of principal buildings at the front of the campus.
This two-story simple rectangular structure features bands of horizontal metal widows and a flat roof with a simple metal cornice band. The red brick contrasts with the tan brick of Tifton’s other principal buildings. The front and rear facades of the building are slightly inset, while the metal cornice band projects above, emphasizing the rectangular box-like form. The Horticulture Building is one of the most notable architecturally on the campus as a good example of mid-century Modern architecture. It appears individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and is assessed as Category 1.
