Comenius Hall

Comenius Hall originally housed nearly the entire men's school, including the dormitory, gym and classrooms. The massive Halloween fire of 1913 gutted the upper floor, which was completely rebuilt and reopened in 1914. Constructed in 1907, the Harvey Memorial wing on the south side of the building served as the library until 1967, when Reeves Library was built.

Now, the building is used for classes, faculty offices, and contains the Comenius Center for Continuing, Professional, and Graduate Studies on the ground floor.
