Rolfs Hall

Rolfs Hall is a three-story academic building with Collegiate Gothic design located on the northeastern portion of the University of Florida campus. The structure houses departments focused on horticulture, forestry, and related agricultural research programs.

The structure was completed in 1927 by architects William Augustus Edwards and Rudolph Weaver, and gained National Register status in 1986. An additional floor was added in 1937 to provide space for the School of Forestry.

The building showcases the importance of agricultural sciences at this university through its role as a center for plant science and forestry education. It represents the long tradition of farming knowledge and research that shaped the institution.

The building is located on the main campus and part of the university, so visitors can explore the exterior and public areas during the day. The best time to visit is during the academic year when the campus is active and the building can be seen in its everyday context.

Despite several renovations over the decades, the building retained its original Gothic design, making it stand out among more modern university structures. This consistency in its style contributes to its historical character.
