View from the Northeast. Designed by Battle Creek architect, Ernest W. Arnold, the Administration Building was completed and occupied in 1905. By 1909 two wings were added: the Training School and the Gymnasium. Together they were later known as East Hall. The Science Building opened in 1915 and later was renamed West Hall. The campus remained in use into the 1950s when classes transitioned to the West Campus (later Main Campus). Later, East Campus was known as Historic East Campus.
