THE LAGRANGE COLLEGE CAMPUS
BANKS HALL
Originally built in 1963, the building served the campus as its library until the Frank and Laura
Lewis Library opened in February 2009. Renovated in 2009, the building now houses
Admissions, Financial Aid, the Business Office, the Registrar‘s Office, the Vice President for
Enrollment Management, the Provost, the Vice President for Advancement, the Vice President
for Finance and Operations, and the President.
J. K. BOATWRIGHT HALL
Completed in 1962, this three-story brick building serves as a men‘s dormitory. J. K. Boatwright
Hall is named in memory of a longtime member of the College‘s Board of Trustees and chairman
of the board‘s executive committee from 1956-1962. New designs were incorporated in
renovations to the building in 2003.
FULLER E. CALLAWAY ACADEMIC BUILDING
Completed in 1981 and renovated in 2000, the Fuller E. Callaway Academic Building houses the
Departments of Nursing, Psychology, History, and Political Science.
CALLAWAY AUDITORIUM
Built in 1941, Callaway Auditorium was originally designed as a multipurpose venue, and it
served ably in that capacity for well over half a century, hosting countless basketball games,
volleyball matches, dances, children‘s recitals, luncheons, and other varied events. Though
versatile, the facility was severely limited in its ability to provide an accommodation that was
greatly needed by the community and LaGrange College: an acoustically pleasing music
performance venue.
The demand for such a facility was satisfied in 2005 with the auditorium‘s transformation from a
―gym with a stage‖ to a state-of-the-art concert hall. Funded jointly by LaGrange College and
Callaway Foundation, Inc., the $5.5 million renovation called for an almost complete internal
makeover and a new roof. And while the hall‘s visual appearance has changed dramatically, the
single most important improvement is the superior sound quality that the Auditorium now
delivers.
CALLAWAY CAMPUS
Acquired by the College in 1992 as a gift from Callaway Foundation, Inc., the campus includes
three buildings of brick and concrete construction. Callaway Foundation, Inc., donated funds to
build a state-of-the-art lighted soccer field there in 1995. The Callaway Campus also includes a
softball complex, tennis courts, swimming pools, and a football practice field.
CALLAWAY EDUCATION BUILDING
Built in 1965, renovated in 1994, and given a $2 million, 17,000-square-foot addition in 2006,
the building houses the Department of Music, Offices of Intercollegiate and Intramural Athletics,
Offices of the Department of Health and Physical Education, a weight room, an athletic training
room, and a football locker room.
