The Saskatoon Normal School was opened in 1922 as an institution for training teachers. This facility was opened at the same time a school in Moose Jaw, to complement the original school in Regina. The building was designed by Maurice Sharon, the provincial architect who supervised all public building projects. It was designed in the Collegiate Gothic style similar to its contemporaries at the University of Saskatchewan campus, although this building favoured cheaper brick over carved stone on parts of its exterior.

This building and the one in Regina were taken over in 1940 by the Royal Canadian Air Force to accommodate military training. After World War II teacher training resumed in Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, but was discontinued in Regina because of declining enrolment.

In 1964, the Regina and Saskatoon Teachers Colleges, as the normal schools were then called, were transferred to the University of Saskatchewan. At some point after that, the building became part of the SIAST Kelsey campus and renamed the E.A. Davies Building.
