Hall, Central's administration building and the most striking architecture
on the campus, was built on the ruins of Old Main, Central's first
building, which burned in 1925. Excavation for the new building
started on October 26, 1926.

Hall has served many purposes in its 73 years of existence. It was
originally built as a classroom building, and it housed the English,
History, Speech, Mathematics, foreign languages, Psychology and
Education, and parts of the Music Department until other academic
buildings gradually took over those functions.

Central
Michigan University
Central
Michigan University (also known as CMU) is a coeducational
state university located in Mount Pleasant in the U.S. state
of Michigan. Nearly 28,000 students are enrolled, of which
approximately 20,000 are undergraduates, making the university
the fourth largest in Michigan. CMU also has off-campus sites
located in 15 states and 10 countries. CMU offers students
their choice of 27 degrees through eight academic divisions.
On June 1, 1959, with 40 buildings standing on a 235-acre
(0.95 km2) campus and an enrollment of 4,500 students, Central
was renamed Central Michigan University, a designation that
reflected growth in the complexity of the school's academic
offerings as well as its physical growth in the post-war period.
