Old Main

Old Main is Marshall University's oldest structure, housing classrooms, offices, and administrative spaces within a large stone building. The structure displays multiple construction phases with varying architectural styles added over several decades.

The building was constructed in the late 1800s and marked the start of Marshall University's development as a higher education institution. Its expansions and renovations over time reflected the university's growth and increasing academic needs.

Students and faculty gather in Old Main's corridors and rooms for academic discussions, administrative meetings, and educational programs throughout the academic year.

The building is accessible during regular university operating hours and can be entered through the main entrance. Parking areas are available nearby on campus for visitors.

The building features stone facades and interior details that show different construction eras and reflect the craftsmanship techniques of their time. These layers of building materials and styles tell a visual story of technical development.
