Beamish Conservatory
The Beamish Conservatory (Atrium) is named in honour of the donor May Beamish daughter of artist Augustus Kenderdine. The atrium is located in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources building.
This conservatory is named to honour Mrs. May Beamish, who with her husband, Oswald, farmed near Lashburn, Saskatchewan. Mrs. Beamish was a great inspiration in planning this building. Her enerous financial contributions enabled the University to include both the Kenderdine Gallery, a home for her father's artwork, and the Beamish Conservatory. Together, these two facilities will help sturdents, staff and visitors to better appreciate the beauty of the Saskatchewan environment, its ecology and its great productive potential.

“But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your Snark be a Boojum! for then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!”
