Education

Originally known as Horace Mann Hall, this building was erected in 1935-36 to house a teacher training school. It served that purpose until 1946, when it was turned over to the Alva Public School system to meet a community education need and became Horace Mann Elementary School. In 1962, use of the building returned to Northwestern, and the interior was extensively renovated to create a modern education center. Another major remodeling in 1994 revamped and updated the interior again. In 2000, the building was named the Joe J. Struckle Education Center in honor of the school's president, who served from 1975 to 2000.
