History

Leasure Hall originally faced a quadrangle formed by the Engineering Shops on the south and the Power Plant on the west. The imposition of the Lafene Health Center considerably altered the approach to Leasure Hall. It was erected in 1908 at a cost of $71,307. It provided facilities for Veterinary Medicine and the Department of Bacteriology. Leasure Hall was named for Dr. E.E. Leasure who joined the faculty in 1926 and became Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1948. He served the university in this capacity until his retirement in 1964.
