Armsby Building
One of the original agricultural buildings, on what was once called Ag Hill. The building was named for Dr. Henry Prentiss Armsby, who was the first Dean of the School of Agriculture from 1895 to 1902. Armsby Building is located in the heart of central campus -- see this map insert or the Penn State Visitor's guide.
