Industrial Education Building

by Cheri Griffin

The Industrial Education building on campus was originally built as a textile school in 1900. It is an Italianate building. This is expressed by the two towers in the front of the building. The architect is unknown but there is some influence from the work of Henry Richardson. The columns and arches in the front are very Richardsonian Romanesque.The inside of the building is very different. It is more 19th century industrial architecture. This building reflects the time period it was built because it is fancy on the outside, yet functional on the inside.
