Comal (originally constructed as the Education Building)
The Comal building was known as the Education Building for much of its history. It housed the campus school from it's opening in 1918 until the campus elementary (Evans) was constructed in the 1930s, then it became the campus high school. The agreement between the city of San Marcos and the college is an interesting story.
