context_section_description: As the student population increased during the 1940s and 1950s, the administration population also boomed calling for the need of new office spaces.  This need was relieved with the construction of the $1 million, ten-story Administration Building in 1963. The seventh floor of the building housed the first university computer in 1963, an IBM 1620. Most of the administrative offices were moved into the Administration Building after its completion including the offices of the President (until 1977), Bursar, Housing, Admissions, Registrar, Academic Deans, Provost, and Dean of Students.  The Administration Building currently houses the offices of the Bursar, Registration, and the College of Arts and Sciences, among others. The building was set to be demolished by the year 2017 and have its offices be moved to new locations to better serve the students. However this course of action has been postponed.
