C.A. Witt Building
The C.A. Witt Maintenance Building was built in 1960. It provides work space for the lock shop, carpentry, painting, welding, and HVAC shops and office space for the construction crew, and Terry Pfeifer, Co-Director, Physical Plant. The building was expanded in 1997 by the addition of extra shop space on the south end and presently occupies 17,696 gross square feet.
The Central Purchasing department occupies the north part of the Witt Building and is the central receiving/shipping area for the university.
The C.A. Witt Building was named in honor of Cliff Witt who joined the FHSU staff in 1934 as a maintenance engineer. He was a contractor in Hays and helped build Custer Hall and the old cafeteria on campus before being hired by the university. Mr. Witt retired from FHSU in 1964 after almost 30 years of service to the university.
