Fuller E. Callway Academic Building

Completed in 1981 and renovated in 2000, the Fuller E. Callaway Academic Building houses the History, Political Science, Sociology and Psychology programs.

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.
