Demolition Nears for ISU Davidson Hall on campus
Iowa State University proceeds toward razing Davidson Hall built in 1922 after the agricultural and biosystems engineering department relocated to newer facilities. The site will become temporary parking as surplus furniture is recycled and donated, with some items heading to Africa. The Regents approved razing in 2006 amid the Biorenewables Complex project.
