The school hospital was originally called the Infirmary. It was constructed in 1894, and was the only building on campus designed by the deaf architect, Olof Hanson. The infirmary was previously in the North Wing of Mott Hall, but it was moved to an isolated location for health safety reasons. It provided separate wards for ordinary and contagious patients. It was razed in the summer of 1973.

Male students are standing on the left in front of the South Wing, and female students are standing on the right in front of the North Wing. The North and South Wings of Mott Hall served as the first permanent buildings for classrooms and dormitories during 1874-1879. The North Wing was the first to be occupied on March 17, 1868, and the South Wing was occupied in the fall of 1873. The two wings were almost exact counterparts, and were connected by a covered passageway on the first floor level.
