Custodial history

Scope and content

Looking southwest at the feed (grain) elevator from across the yard.

Bio/Historical note: The University of Saskatchewan feed elevator was designed and built in 1951 by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, costing $25,000. The feed elevator was used for grain storage by the University farm as well as for weighing, mixing, grinding and cleaning grain. In the 1970s an annex was added to the west side of the building. When the feed mill was opened in 1964, the feed elevator was no longer needed for mixing and became solely a grain storage facility. The building went out of use in the mid-to-late 1990s, when all of the resources of the College of Agriculture were focused on the construction of the new Agriculture Building. The feed elevator is a relatively unaltered and classic example of a prairie grain elevator. After its decommissioning, it was used briefly for school tours, but are no longer conducted due to the condition of the elevator.
