Uses
Joyner Building was destroyed by fire on January 15, 1981. It was about to undergo renovation. Built in 1913–1914, it had over the year housed classrooms, labs, administrative offices, the college post office, college shop, college library, and college book exchange for decades. At the time of the fire, it was the oldest building on campus and was being used as the home of the Western Carolinian (WCU's college newspaper), and as a meeting place for student organizations. The ruins were deemed a hazard and were knocked down the following week. The site is now Joyner Plaza. The oldest buildings on campus are now Moore (1917–1924) and the Steam Plant (1924)
