 In 1904, after the influx of students, the local Beth midrash became too small to accommodate the yeshiva and a new building was constructed to house the college.However, as the years progressed, so did the student intake and with pupils now numbering in the hundreds, some were forced to study in the local synagogue.This set up was not favoured by the faculty who decided that a new, larger building, able to hold the entire student roll, was needed.
