            With increasing interest in Engineering, a three story brick building with an attic was completed in 1886.  Not long after it was occupied, expansion became necessary.  Two wings were added along with a tower containing a water tank.[101]  These wings were later extended to the South in 1900.   The building housed shops, research laboratories, and drawing rooms.[101] 

            The entire structure was razed in 1956.[107]
