The Agriculture Center Arena is one the buildings located at the Agriculture Center along northbound Interstate 45.

Students worked at this "in-town" farm in a number of ways, including meat processing, feed mixing, animal research, and operating the college dairy. Many students also lived on the farm, utilizing the living quarters contained in this building. The residential areas were last used c. 1995-96.

The building also contains a soils laboratory, an animal science laboratory, and an indoor arena for animal handling.

The structure is identified as the Animal Husbandry Building on many campus maps.
