Old Main

The Old Main building at Utah State University features Romanesque Revival architecture with distinctive arched windows and sturdy red brick construction throughout its structure.

Construction of Old Main began in 1902 under architect Charles Lawton Thompson, marking the establishment of Utah State University's first major educational facility.

As the central building of Utah State University, Old Main represents the foundation of higher education development in northern Utah during the early 20th century.

Visitors can access Old Main during regular campus hours to explore its historical architecture and visit administrative offices located within the building.

The building sits at an elevation that provides clear views across the Logan valley, with its central tower rising above the surrounding campus structures.
