History

Embry-Riddle began in 1925 as the Embry-Riddle Company, an aircraft dealer, and airmail provider, founded by Talton Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle in Cincinnati, Ohio. Embry-Riddle was eventually incorporated into what is now American Airlines, before reforming during the buildup to World War II in Miami, Florida as the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation, and later, the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute. Embry-Riddle moved to Daytona Beach, Florida in 1965 and was renamed Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 1970.

Embry-Riddle opened its second campus in Prescott, Arizona in 1978. Embry-Riddle purchased the former campus of Prescott College, which closed abruptly in 1974 from financial hardship.

Starting in Fall 2009 Halls 1-4 (Mingus Mountain Complex) were designated for first-year students, Hall 5 (Mingus Complex) housed continuing and transfer students, all halls in the Village Complex (Halls 6 to 10) were designated for continuing and transfer students, and two halls in the Thumb Butte Complex were designated for first-year students. The remaining two halls in the Thumb Butte Complex (TBC) were closed for Fall 2009. Due to renovating works planned for Hall 5, Hall 5 residents were reassigned to the remaining halls in TBC (M100 and M400) and available spaces at the Village for the Spring 2010 term. Hall 5 is expected to reopen for Fall 2010 for continuing and transfer students. Also, for Fall 2010 the alcohol policy was changed, allowing for beer and wine in the "wet halls". The buildings in the Thumb Butte Complex were designated as the wet halls.
