Griffin-Floyd Hall
The College of Agriculture, completed in 1912, reflected the University commitment to the agriculture interests of the state. Terra cotta reliefs of cornucopia spilling a wealth of fruits and vegetables over two of the entrances symbolize the bounty of the state’s agricultural resources. A stock judging arena and farm machinery room were adjacent to administrative offices and classrooms. Griffin-Floyd Hall was restored in 1992 with the support of Ben Hill Griffin, Jr.
