The colonial bungalow hybridising European architecture with Subcontinental features formerly housed Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (Bari). It was the oldest research laboratory in the country, an early and integral part of the area known as Khamarbari. USG was supported by Poribesh Bachao Andolon (Poba), who decried the “big development” set to replace the oldest research laboratory in Dhaka. In 1909, it was constructed to serve the government agriculture research laboratory. In addition, there will be several art camps in front of the Khamarbari laboratory building, and several student organisations have pledged to sit-in for an hour on Sunday.
