The first building for the Western State Normal School, the Administration Building, was constructed in 1904-05. In 1905 and 1907 the Michigan Legislature appropriated funds for the construction of a gymnasium and additional classrooms. Architect E. W. Arnold of Battle Creek, Michigan returned to design the new buildings. Below are plans from 1906 showing the proposed additions to the Administration Building, in the context of the overall campus plan from 1903. The Gymnasium and "Annex" were completed in 1907.
