"Westminster seeks out the student that can work hard in the classroom and take what they've learned out into their everyday life to impact the world.”

Lindsey Dennis, '15

Columns and Westminster Hall

The main administrative office building, Westminster Hall was built in 1911 and renovated in 1973-74. Located in this building are classrooms, faculty offices, the Offices of Academic Affairs, the Dean of Student Life, the Office of Business Affairs, the Learning Opportunities Center, the Student Counseling and Health Services Center,  and the L.M. and Virginia Atchinson Computer Center.

The Columns, located on The Hill, are the only remnant of the original Westminster Hall, destroyed by fire in 1909. Two of the most revered Westminster traditions are the fall Convocation when new students enter the campus through The Columns and Commencement when graduating students pass back through The Columns into the world.
