Why does the switch appear to be replying to my arp requests instead of the actual devices?

Recently I have been learning about networks and protocols such as ARP. The other day at school I sent arp requests to all the IP addresses on the Subnet (I was connected to the schools BYOD wireless AP) and the same device (which was what I assume to be a switch based on its MAC address) replied to the requests. Why would a network be set up to do this?
