Carver's Laboratory

George Washington Carver taught classes and developed new products from peanuts, sweet potatoes, and other crops in his laboratory in Milbank Agricultural Hall. During his 47-year career at Tuskegee, he created extension services for black farmers and homemakers, established the first experimental station in a black college, and introduced numerous other agricultural innovations. His scientific legacy continues at Milbank's Center for Plant Biotechnology Research, where students have experimented with raising vegetables in a weightless environment for the U.S. Space Program.
