This three-storey brick and stone building on the Fort Garry Campus of the University of Manitoba was designed by local architects Samuel Hooper and Victor Horwood, and built in 1912 as part of the Manitoba Agricultural College. Initially used for the instruction of horticulture and biology, in 1949 it was renovated for use as the Home Economics Building. It was later renamed the Human Ecology Building.
