Long before UConn 2000, the University underwent a major construction program in the years following World War II. One of the projects was a new building for the College of Agriculture, which opened in fall 1953. It was later named for Wilfred B. Young, dean of the college from 1944 to 1966. The program became the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources in the late 1960s.
