The first laundry on campus, located in Brick Dormitory, was destroyed when the dormitory burned in January of 1904.

The second laundry and the heating plant was built in 1905 on Walker Avenue and used until 1948. It was renovated in 1954 to house the first television facility on campus and razed around 1966 or 1967 when the Carmichael Building was built.
