By 1858, the school's population grew to 30. By 1862, the school's resident population grew to 57. The number of applicants increased each year, and the old building could only accommodate about 50 students. In 1864, as the center desired a larger structure to support more students, as well as a location away from the city center, the institute purchased the land it currently occupies. In 1865, the foundation for the new residential school building was started. The institute's main building was completed enough to begin occupancy in July 1868, with 105 students, increased to 300 by the end of the year.
