Fairmont Normal School Administration Building is a historic school building located on the campus of Fairmont State University at Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia. It was built between 1915 and 1917, and is a large three-story Classical Revival style building sited atop a hill overlooking Locust Avenue. Its light coated brick exterior walls are ornamented with limestone and terra cotta details. Its front features a portico with eight Ionic order columns with shafts made of Indiana Blue Limestone. The original building measured 265 feet by 65 feet; the west wing was added in 1927.[2]

The building was renamed Hardway Hall in 1989 for Wendell G. Hardway, a former president of Fairmont State College.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
