When Morrill Hall had first opened in 1907, it housed the Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and the University Extension Service, which administered a total of 60 students and 10 faculty.
 Within a decade the facility was already considered to be overcrowded.
 The number of faculty, staff and students in 1916 was reported to have increased to 125 regular students (with an additional 50 students during the winter months), and 32 faculty and staff utilizing the offices and laboratories.

"The congestion is such that neither service nor work can be satisfactorily accomplished.
 Teachers, research men, extension workers, stenographers, students, soldiers, visitors tread on each other's heels."

By 1925, the attendance of the College of Agriculture had "considerably more than tripled" since 1907.
 During that year, after the passing of the Purnell Act (which had significantly increased federal endowments for all 48 of the nation's agricultural experiment stations), the building's overcrowded conditions began to be addressed when the University moved the offices and research laboratories of the dairy department into the renovated "old medical college building" (known today as Pomeroy Hall) located diagonally across the street from Morrill Hall.

In 1932, the Agricultural Extension Service offices were moved to the former residence of a UVM Professor, Josiah W. Votey at 481 Main Street.

In 1946, the basement was installed with a foods laboratory, and a new milk laboratory replaced the storage area and mail room (that was relocated to 481 Main Street).
 However, by the mid to late 1940s, the Home Economics department "had taken over much of the building", until the Bertha M. Terrill Home Economics Building (i.e. Terrill Hall) was constructed in 1950–51.
