Arizona State started out as a humble, normal school in 1885 specializing in teacher preparedness. It’s easy to forget that looking at the sprawling campuses and multitude of directions one could take their studies. The Farmer’s Building (pictured) has been apart of campus since its construction was completed in 1960 and it is named after Hiram Bradford Farmer, who was the first principal of the Arizona Territorial Normal School. The Farmer’s Building houses The Mary Lou Fulton Teacher’s college, and four floors of classrooms. The center of the building has a courtyard-like atmosphere and gets a warm glow in the early morning, when it is already buzzing with future educators getting their own education.
