Fairmont State has occupied its present location in Fairmont since 1917, when its administration building, Hardway Hall, was opened. The west wing was added in 1923. The building was referred to as the Administration Building until 1989 when it was renamed for longtime President, Wendell G. Hardway. Today, Hardway Hall houses various administrative offices, including the President's Office, Business/Accounts Payable, Graduate Studies, and University Communications. It is also home to the College of Liberal Arts' Department of Social Sciences and Department of Behavioral Sciences, including our Master of Criminal Justice program. These are two of the largest departments on campus.
