Historical Information

The Electrical Engineering building consisted of a large addition to the Electrical Building, and was constructed in the summer of 1906. It was a three-story stone and brick building attached to a one story brick structure, with a basement. It contained instrument rooms; a calibration room, laboratories, a seminary room, offices, rooms for electrical design, and lecture and recitation rooms. The one-story wing contained a large lecture hall which seated 300 students. Several additions to the building have been completed since.
