In 2021, Koch Hazard donated fourteen floor plans and this rendering to the museum. The floor plans date from 1975-1979 and illustrate typical 1970s museum exhibits layout. Built in 1918, the Stock Judging Pavilion was the livestock arena until the late 1970s. In 1925, the west wing and lower level were added to the pavilion. The Stock Judging Pavilion hosted à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã science classes, meats classes, other classes and Little I (until 1942) until the current Animal Science Complex opened in 1977.
Knowing that the Stock Judging Pavilion would soon be vacant, Ralph Johnston and the Museums and Heritages Center Advisory Committee set out to secure the building for the development of the Agricultural Heritage Museum. South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University and the office of Cultural Preservation reached an agreement that the museum would rent the Stock Pavilion and bring it up to standards; the university would then maintain those standards. The museum selected Koch Hazard to conduct a feasibility study for the use of the Stock Judging Pavilion as the new Agricultural Heritage Museum, and Koch Hazard Architects of Sioux Falls created this Schematic Design Study and Interior Rendering for the museum.
The rendering shows a concept as to how part of the West Gallery floor plan could be arranged with dioramas and case work featuring several types of farm equipment. Collections storage was set to be built behind this gallery. Looking at the other floor plans that were donated, the Hodges claim shanty was placed where the elevator to the Ag-Xploration gallery is now and displays in the center and east galleries were to be small cases discussing soils, politics, geography, climate, religion, textiles and many other topics. The center gallery, where the Case steam traction engine is found was to have a stage/program area and the bleachers (underneath the Ag-Xploration gallery) were carpeted for seating. This style of crowed case work and dioramas is typical of 1970s museum exhibit design.
