Chandler Hall was originally built in 1922 as the campus cafeteria at a cost of $35,000. The legislature appropriated $25,000 and the college added $10,000. In 1953, when the Student Center was completed, the Home Economics Dept. moved out of Carney Hall, where it had moved in 1917 from Whitesitt Hall, into the old cafeteria. It was dedicated in 1964 as Chandler Hall in honor of Sarah Preswick Chandler Hartsock, who was among the first graduates of the University in 1905 and the first head of the Domestic Arts Dept from 1905 to 1911. This building was torn down and replaced with a new one in 2003 and now houses the Family & Consumer Sciences Dept.
