During the
early days of the institution some buildings were given
two names such as this building. The Main or academic
building was one of the three buildings on campus when
the doors of Tennessee A and I State Normal School
opened in 1912. The structure was a brick and stone
structure three stories high located on the north campus
where HANKAL HALL stands today. It contained the
offices, laboratories, recitation rooms, library,
reading room, bookstore, auditorium, dining hall,
kitchen and laundry. By 1922, the classes in Home
Economics and commercial education along with the
kitchen, dining rooms and laundry had moved to the NEW
GIRL'S INDUSTRIAL BUILDING erect in 1921. And by 1928
the administrative offices --desks of the cashier,
bookkeeper, registrar and Dean, and the office of the
President were centralized on the first floor of the new
MEMORIAL LIBRARY erected in 1927. After the institution
became a college in 1922, the MAIN OR ACADEMIC BUILDING
became the TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING or PRACTICE SCHOOL
by 1923. The conversion of the building was used as a
model training school for prospective teachers in the
two-year elementary teachers' course and four-year high
school teachers' course started by 1928. The building
was demolished by 1942. |
