Originally a storage facility for Byers Lumber Company, the Lumberyard was included in the land purchase made by the College for the construction of the Kline Life/Sports Center.  This storage building was later renovated and made into a student social center, which opened on April 21, 1989.  Less than five years later, on January 18, 1994, the Lumberyard collapsed when the ice and snow that had accumulated swiftly during a severe winter storm proved too heavy for the building’s roof to support. 

In 1995 the Depot, a new student social center, was constructed on the site that the Lumberyard had occupied.
