Official Name:Smith Hall, O.D.
About:
Completed in 1908 as the college's first dormitory. The building was named for Otis David Smith, who was a trustee of the University of Alabama while also a professor of English and mathematics at Auburn. He also served as acting president of API following the death of President William Leroy Broun in 1902. The building was temporarily converted into a hospital in 1918 to accommodate students suffering from the killer Spanish flu. In 1921, it became a dormitory for women, but was burned in a fire in 1933. The Civilian Works Administration used the remaining exterior walls and rebuilt the structure as a classroom building. Smith Hall is currently used for the University Outreach division offices of Professional and Continuing Education, Center for Educational Outreach and Engagement, and the Office of Public Service.
