1912 Alpha Hall was demolished, and construction began on the Dairy Science Building - designed by the famed architect John Bennes

1951 the building was renovated and renamed the Social Science Building

2002 the buiding was renamed after Gordon Gilkey, former dean of liberal arts. Dr. Gilkey is also known worldwide for his printmaking and art collection, and for his efforts to save works of art during World War II.
