G
reen Hall
During the Alumni Reunion on May 9, 1931, students and faculty gathered for the laying of the cornerstone of the Administration Building. It contained a box of documents and history relating to the college. The building was completed and occupied in September 1931, and was named in honor of James M. Green, principal of the Normal School from 1889-1917. It contained the administrative offices, the Department of Student Life, rooms for the Departments of Fine Arts, Natural Science, and Business Education. In addition there were several other
classrooms, a post office, commuters' room, and faculty offices.

Allen, Ely, and Brewster Houses
The first dormitories on the Hillwood Lakes campus-Allen House, Ely House, and Brewster House-were completed and occupied in September 1931. One hundred and forty freshman women in the three-year elementary, three-year kindergarten-primary, and the four-year secondary curriculum, were the first students to live on campus. The building consisted of three sections connected by covered porches. The large social room in the center of the building provided ample facilities for teas, concerts, and gatherings.

Centennial Hall

In December 1954 the State Board of Education named the new women's dormitory "Centennial Hall," since it opened during the 100-year anniversary of The College in 1955. Centennial was the first permanent structure to be constructed since the completion of Norsworthy Hall in 1936.

Phelps Hall
In 1955 William F. Phelps Hall opened, and was named in honor of the first principal of the Normal School. The building contained faculty and student dining rooms, The College bookstore, and student services. Phelps Hall was demolished to make room for the Community Commons.

The Pub
On November 29, 1971, TSC students welcomed the Pub, formerly the Rhodora Theatre, as it opened its doors in Phelps Hall. The Pub offered students a place to talk, meet people, enjoy music or live entertainment, and relax.

Student Center
The 1976 opening of the Student Center brought together student activities and services that were formerly scattered throughout the campus. The 97,000-square-foot facility became a total service center for students. In addition to office space for student organizations, the Center housed snack bar facilities, a bank, college store, conference rooms, a lounge, and the Rathskellar. In 1981, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the renaming of the Center after College President Emeritus Dr. Clayton R. Brower, who retired in 1980.

Recent Construction
The 1990s ushered in a decade of major construction on campus. New residence halls included three sets of townhouses for upper-class students. New academic facilities include the Music Building, with a 300-seat concert hall; Paul Loser Hall, home to the School of Nursing and the Office of Admissions; a new School of Business Building; and construction of a new Biology Building and science complex.
