North Quad originally was home for the campus library and an assembly hall. Today, this building houses a tutoring center, academic advising, and several departments within the College of Sciences and Humanities.

Originally known as the Library and Assembly Hall, this Gothic style building with battlements and tower was constructed in 1926. It was built because of complaints about crowding and insufficient hours in the original library, which was housed in the Administration Building. The Assembly Hall was used by both the college and the community.

Even this new library space was quickly outgrown, however, and the building was expanded in 1932, 1955, and 1959-60. In 1966-67 the Assembly Hall was converted to library space. With the construction of Bracken Library in 1975, North Quad was converted to classroom and office space.
