Buildings and Grounds
THE PHYSICAL PLANT of the College is attractive, functional, and adequate
for an extensive educational program. The campus proper, approximately
sixty acres, is decidedly picturesque. The unique architectural style of the
major buildings is Bhutanese, sometimes referred to as Tibetan, and the
rugged mountainous setting is a fitting background.
In addition to administrative and academic facilities there are available
for curricular and extra-curricular activities, a swimming pool, military
science building, a newly enlarged Student Union Building and the Sun
Bowl stadium. There are eight sorority and fraternity lodges adjacent to
the campus, and 72 housing units available for married students.
Magoffin Auditorium has big-theater stage facilities with the most
modem sound equipment-seats and is completely air-conditioned.
Towering over the College is the antenna of KVOF-FM, a complete lab-
oratory Radio Station operated by the Journalism and Radio Department.
THERE ARE FIVE modern and conveniently located residence halls on the
campus, three for men and two for women. These five dormitories have a
capacity of 350 students. Meals are served in a dining hall located between
the two women's dormitories. Three meals daily are served, with the
exception of Sunday night supper. All students residing in the dormitories
are required to take their meals in the dining hall.
