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, Political Science, and Sociology and Anthropology.
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-theart
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 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 stateof-the-art
lighted soccer field there in 1995, and 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 squarefoot
addition in 2006, the building houses the Music Department,
Offices of Intercollegiate and Intramural Athletics, Offices of the
