Remembering a Campus Icon: The Dairy Barn

Celebrate National Dairy Month by stepping inside one of Texas Tech's oldest buildings.

It's National Dairy Month, and what better way to celebrate than to remember one of Texas Tech University's most iconic buildings: the Dairy Barn.

Built in 1926, the Dairy Barn is one of the four original campus buildings. In the beginning, the barn had enough land around it to house a dairy cattle herd. Though empty now, the barn originally had milking facilities for 40 cows, calf stalls, feed rooms, a chiller and an office.
