The men of Acacia lived there from 1914 up until around the 1990s. A fire caused by an unknown arsonist devastated the fraternities finances and they were forced to sell it to the University. Acacia is now permanently located at 302 E. Armory. GSLIS achieved the building in 1994, and the program has resided there ever since.media/0003990.jpgplain2016-04-20T12:25:14-07:00Zack Stein57940dc79abc96dff13fad21e90971764e25ae94

A 1991 article in the GSLIS Association Newsletter stated that this building would provide "13,000 square feet of usable area", while their initial setting at David Kinley Hall only covered 7400 square feet. The school would also get their own classrooms spaces, which was not provided at the last setting. There would be later additions to the building several years later.media/0004217.jpgplain2016-04-20T12:39:59-07:00Zack Stein57940dc79abc96dff13fad21e90971764e25ae94
