Editing 1904 Fires (section)

=== Aftermath ===
The fires of 1904 prompted a significant transformation at RPI. In the wake of the destruction, additional land was acquired, and new buildings were constructed, signaling the beginning of a new era. Alumni and benefactors played a crucial role in supporting the Institute’s recovery and expansion efforts. Key structures from this period include the [[Carnegie Building]] and Walker Laboratory, both completed in 1906, the [[Russell Sage Laboratory]] in 1909, and the Pittsburgh Building and the '87 Gymnasium in 1912. These developments not only restored the campus but also modernized it, setting the stage for future growth.
