Completed in 1907, the structure originally known as Science Hall became the second building on the campus of Northwestern Normal School. Designed by S. A. Layton, architect of Oklahoma’s State Capitol, it housed the science departments, a training school for teachers, a library, and a gymnasium. Over the years, it underwent major renovations to maintain its integrity and adapt it for different uses, serving various office and academic areas, including the speech and music departments. In 1948, it was renamed the Fine Arts Building. A prominent feature of the campus, it is the oldest structure on the grounds and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
