History

Construction was started in 1904 after years of planning and fundraising, however, was halted in 1905 when funds ran out. After sitting uncompleted for two years, Laverne Noyes agreed to fund the cost to complete the building with the a few conditions:

Until 1914, the building housed the campus' only swimming pool and in 1917 it was used as an infirmary for the flu epidemic. The building also had a cafe (known as "College Inn") and bowling alley. Between 1927 and 1937, remodeling added more student rooms, games rooms, study rooms and offices were also added when the College Inn was closed because of the construction of the Memorial Union. The Alumni Association also relocated to the Memorial Union and the Alumni Hall was used as an administration building for the Naval Training School during World War II. After the Navy moved out in 1944, the building continued to house the YMCA, YWCA, and served as dormitories. [3]

In 1966, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic places. In 1986, the Iowa Board of Regents granted ISU approval to acquire the building from the Alumni Hall Corporation Board of Directors and in 1987, the last residents moved out and a $2.1 million historic remodeling was undertaken. [3]

In 2008, the building was renamed from Alumni Hall to Enrollment Services Center to avoid confusion with the new Alumni Center. The building now houses the Office of Admissions and the Office of the Registrar. [2]

The History of Louisiana Tech University began when the Industrial Institute and College of Louisiana was founded in Ruston, Louisiana in 1894. The institute was founded to develop an industrial economy in the state of Louisiana. Four years later, the school was renamed the Louisiana Industrial Institute when Louisiana adopted the Constitution of 1898. When the Constitution of 1921 was passed, the school changed its name again to Louisiana Polytechnic Institute to reflect the school's evolution from a trade school into a larger and broader technical institute. Although the university was informally called Louisiana Tech for about five decades after the 1921 name change, it was not until 1970 when Louisiana Polytechnic Institute officially changed its name to Louisiana Tech University. Over the course of its history, the school grew from a small industrial institute with one building to a university with five colleges and an enrollment of around 11,800 students.
