In 2008 the building was nearly lost to a fire that destroyed its roof and fourth floor and heavily damaged its lower levels. The university restored the heavily damaged, but irreplaceable landmark, bringing it up to 21st century academic facility standards while maintaining its historic integrity. The restoration replicates the original 1896 architecture of the building while fulfilling all of the modern campus needs: university classrooms and administration offices.
