The school grew within the decade however, and new departments were formed. The school changed its name in 1905 to Washington State College in part to reflect these additions. While times were lean during World War I and directly after, by 1928 the nation experienced a surge in its economy. Washington State College was no different. A number of buildings were completed during this time, including White Hall and Troy Hall, the Hospital and the field house. Within the decade of the 1920s also came the additions of the Student's Book Store and the Radio Station--KWSC.
