Title:
Cruess Hall, serving as a laboratory and classroom for instruction of students in
semi-commercial operations, and practical application of research, the Food Technology Building of
the University of California College of Agriculture on the Davis campus is designed to give the
best in educational and research facilities. The building contains cold storage laboratories,
teaching laboratories, a tropical incubator room, several small utility laboratories, food
preparation labs and kitchens, food tasting and acceptance labs, and a pilot wing where research
under simulated commercial conditions can be conducted. The wing ultimately will be outfitted with
machinery and equipment for duplicating any process used by the food industry. The cold storage and
incubator rooms enable technologists to observe the effects of fresh and processed foods under long
and short term storage at greatly varied conditions. The incubator room will also be used for
culturing yeasts, bacteria and viruses for experimental work.
