However, an effort to save the building eventually led it to be added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and the demolish decision was overturned.
Mrs. Sutton took an interest in decorating the interior, purchasing foreign goods including French Louis Quinze chairs, a white Italian marble statue, and a portrait of herself done in Germany.
[4] Upon purchase by the university, Breezedale served as a men's dormitory, and was additionally used by the foreign language and art departments.
[7] Today Clark Hall houses student administrative functions such as the registrar, bursar, and financial aid offices.
A literacy program by the YWCA that encouraged female students to read helped add to the collection.
Originally constructed in 1893, Wilson Hall had served as the model school until it was renovated to house the library collection.
With the collection outgrowing the capacity of the Stabley Library, plans were made to construct a new, larger building.
The new facility contains the Orendorff Music Library, dedicated practice space for the jazz, percussion and choral ensembles, as well as the IUP Marching Band.
[12] The building also contains a recording studio dedicated to The Clarks, a Pittsburgh-based rock band whose members met while attending the university.
[19] Currently McElhaney Hall houses the departments of sociology and anthropology and the office of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
[20] Wilson Hall first opened in 1894 as the Model School, where the university's student teachers could gain experience.
[21] When the library collection was relocated, Wilson Hall underwent renovations to serve as classroom space for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The first floor contained a primary and small gymnasium, while the lower level held a swimming pool.
[24] Under a renovation project in 1989, the interior of Waller Hall was converted to serve as performance space for the Theater and Dance department, though the exterior remains the same as when it was first constructed.
In its early years, Fisher hosted Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and Duke Ellington.
[27] Later performances included Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Ray Charles, George Carlin, and Billy Joel.
[28] The project upgraded performance amenities including new dressing rooms, backstage facilities, and offices.
The additional space serves as a central entrance and lobby area for both venues and combines to form the university's Performing Arts Center.
[2] Between 1995 and 1999 the building underwent renovations to serve as classroom, office, and dormitory space for the Robert E. Cook Honors College.
[2][38] However the building was closed in the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic school year with plans to be renovated to house the Center for Student Life currently located in Pratt Hall and the African American Cultural Center currently located within Delaney Hall.
[44] Also inside the Field House is the Pidgeon Natatorium, which is the home of the men's and women's swimming team.
[46] Beginning in 1999, a construction project for a university convocation center was authorized by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge.
The Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex, which was scheduled to open in 2011, will hold the Ed Fry Arena, which serve as the new home of the men's and women's basketball teams and women's volleyball, replacing the Memorial Field House as these teams primary venues.
Additional land was acquired, facilitating the construction of a separate adjacent university book store.
In the mid-1980s, another major expansion and renovation was carried out, and in 1985 the facility was dedicated as the S. Trevor Hadley Union Building (commonly the HUB).
Renovations included relocating the university bookstore, The Co-Op Store, to the older building, where it occupied the entire lower floor.
The upper floor of the original building houses a PNC Bank branch and various conference rooms and offices.
The new HUB, connected to the older facility by a second-floor bridge, contains a food court dining hall with six eateries.
