In April of 1938 the trustees of Tuskegee voted to make available for the Carver Laboratories and Museum a building constructed in 1911 and formerly used as the shoe laundry. Along with the formal notification of new quarters for Dr. Carver's work and contributions of 47 years his assistant, A. W. Curtis, Jr. formulated plans for establishing the Carver Creative Research Laboratories. These plans for the laboratories are an attempt to assure the expansion and perpetuation of the pioneering work done here at Tuskegee institute in farm chemurgy.
