Coinciding with the construction of Lafayette Hall as a classroom annex, the interior of Old Mill was substantially altered in 1958. The entrances on the north and south ends were blocked off and partitions were removed to create two large first floor lecture halls.
For the first time all the rooms on each floor were connected by long corridors running the entire length of the building. Numerous partitions divided the areas west of the corridors into small offices and fireproof stairs and restrooms were added on the east side.
