What is the significance of the OAB to the City of Fresno and the educational community?
The historic Old Administration Building holds a position of unique historical and educational significance to the San Joaquin Valley. Completed in 1916, the building was the first permanent structure on the Fresno State Normal School campus. In 1921, Fresno Junior College relocated to the site and shared the campus with Fresno State until 1948. Fresno City College purchased the campus and, from 1956 to 1976, utilized the classrooms, offices and auditorium in the building.
