The second floor of the Practical .Arts building is devoted to the area of home economics. Separate facilities are available for the preparation of foods, the designing of clothing, and the studying of family living. Showcases are placed along the halls where displays of china, silver, and clothing may be viewed. The Industrial Arts building is also a two-story structure. Construction was completed in 1950, the building houses classrooms, shops, and offices. In this building there is housed a modern printing department which does all the printing for the college. Shop classes are also held in the Taj-Ma-Hall, which is adjacent to the Industrial Arts building.
