Sahs Exhibition Hall Named After Former Director
Nearly 100 people recently attended a special event at the ARDC to formally name the Exhibition Hall in the Research and Education Building the “Warren Sahs Exhibition Hall.”
Sahs was the first Director of the ARDC and served in this role from 1962-1991. One of Sahs’ greatest accomplishments was securing funding for the construction of the Research and Education Building at the ARDC. Sahs lobbied for the building for 15 years.
The Research and Education Building has played a crucial role in the development of the ARDC allowing programming efforts that were not feasible prior to the construction of the facility. Sahs was the driving force behind the construction and some of the unique features that were programmed into the building. One of these unique elements is the Exhibition Hall. The room opens into an auditorium and is also designed to bring in large-scale equipment, such as combines and tractors. The Sahs family was well represented at the event, as were many friends, family, neighbors and past co-workers.
