FINAL WALKTHROUGH WSU’s Johnson Hall leaves immeasurable legacy of ag research

ULLMAN, Wash. — It’s quiet now in Johnson Hall. The only sounds are the footfalls of workers clearing out the last few bits of equipment from the laboratories and classrooms that until recently had occupied the sprawling building. Gone is the bustle of students, scientists and teachers who cultivated curiosity, puzzling through the problems that farmers worldwide face. Along the way, they created a roadmap to the future of agriculture. Perched on Washington State University’s campus, Johnson Hall is facing its end. Engineers say its structure is too outdated to repair or rebuild. Over the next year or so, the now empty building will be dismantled. See Johnson, Page A9
