The central portion of the building was occupied by the offices of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Industrial Arts. Also in this central section were a classroom for the machine shop, a general drafting rooms, a reading room, and a recitation room. In the south wing were housed the main woodworking shop, mill room, glue room, finishing laboratory and spray equipment, sheet metal shop, store rooms, and recitation room. Spaces in the east wing included the machine shop, blacksmith's shop, and a store room.

From 1949 to 1960, the Industrial Arts building was the home of the Department of General Engineering, and the Industrial Arts Club made regular use of the space for meetings.
