Old Main

Built in 1877, Old Main was the first, and originally the only, building to occupy Manitou Heights, containing classrooms, a library, housing for students and faculty, and a dining room. Remodeled in 1989, the building currently houses the Classics Department, foreign languages (Chinese, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Latin, Norwegian, Russian Language and Area Studies, Spanish), and Asian, Hispanic, Linguistics, and Nordic studies.
