Abstract

Centennial anniversary is truly a feat worth recalling. The Normal Hall, the Philippine Normal University's dormitory celebrated its 100 years in 2013. This study aims to trace the historical development of the dormitory, its contribution to the formation of prospective teachers and the current challenges this edifice is facing. A historical-descriptive research revealed that the PNU Normal Hall served as a beacon of character building and social graces for the prospective teachers of the institution for the past 10 decades. At present, the centennial dormitory is facing major structural challenges – nature-caused and man-made. The Normal Hall is now an icon in the cultural landscape for its architectural design, robust structure and historical relevance, besides serving as a living testament to its involvement in the character formation and social training of its residents. It behoves the PNU administration to address the problems of the dormitory to be as relevant as ever in molding future teachers of the country.
