At the time, the first two floors were available for classrooms while the top two floors were still under construction. The basement was used as lab space. The attic was later used as gymnasium.
In 1885, five of the first students graduate from Case School of Applied Sciences with degrees in engineering. These five graduates are the founders of the Case Alumni Association. In 1886, Case Alumni Association was formalized, with first president Daniel R Warmington ('85), Morris S. Towson ('86) as vice-president, William E. Saunders ('86) as secretary, and Edgar E. Stark ('86) as treasurer. Case Alumni Association voted its Constitution and badge in 1887.
During the 1885/1886 school year, there were a total of fifty-one students enrolled: twenty-five freshmen, ten sophomores, five juniors, nine seniors, and two special students. The first graduates with chemistry degrees were P.L. Hobbs and H.L. Payne in 1886.
