Administrative history
The Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry united with the Faculty of Home Economics to become the Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics in 1993. In 1994, the Department of Forest Science merged with the Department of Soil Science to form the Department of Renewable Resources. Starting in 2002, the South Campus started to expand even more. The Swine and Research Technology Centre opened that year, as well as the Agri-Food Discovery Place opening on South Campus in 2006.
In 2007, the Faculty would change its name to the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences. Research would also see a boom through the purchase of 800 acres from the Bocock family to create the St. Albert Research Station (2008) and a donation of a 12,000-acre ranch from Edwin and Ruth Mattheis which would pave the way for the creation of the Rangeland Research Institute (2010). In 2011, the Department of Rural Economy would also change its name to the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology (REES).
The Faculty celebrated its Centennial in 2015, and reported in 2019 that it has approximately 1,600 undergraduate students and approximately 540 graduate students, a significant increase from the small number of 16 students it started out with in 1915.
