Texas Tech Dairy Barn
Overview
Constructed in 1926, the Dairy Barn is one of the oldest structures on campus. Over the years, the barn has survived fire, abandonment followed by years of neglect, and threats of demolition. But reflecting its agricultural heritage and the indomitable spirit of the countless Red Raiders who worked there over the years or who merely walked by it day after day on their way to and from classes, the barn is woven into the very fabric of Texas Tech.
Purpose & Mission
A unique venue in the heart of the campus, the Dairy Barn is an ideal collaborative and meeting space for Texas Tech students, faculty, staff, and alumni. After sitting vacant for 50 years and being one of the oldest and most recognizable structures on campus, the Dairy Barn stands as a monument to the University's history. Having been a working barn, it represents communal work and work done for the community.
