This master planned campus was created to serve a three-fold purpose.  First, it was to be a formal educational campus experience, including student living space. It was also to be a demonstration campus for displaying historic items, like tractors, as well as contemporary farming practices.  It was planned for housing equestrian facilities, including stables and a riding arena. The oversight committee included members of the University Agricultural Extension Service, local farmers, master gardeners and equestrian groups.

​

Paul Winslow, FAIA, led the design development, and was the project architect while working at Orcutt/Winslow.
