The three-story Morris Building has a total area of 12,000 square feet. It is named after an NC State graduate of 1909, William Flaude Morris (1884-1972). He taught mechanical drawing for three years before spending nearly 20 years of private employment with the Clayton Oil Seed Company. In 1932, he returned to NC State as a teacher of mechanical drawing and director of the steam laboratory.

Throughout the Depression and the years of major student-population growth for NC State, Morris directed the "service department," now called Facilities Operations. During this time, he stretched federal funding to provide housing, temporary trailers, small frame "apartment" units, electric power, roads, water and sewer service for the demands of a growing campus population.
