Millsaps College

The Millsaps Christian Center was originally constructed as a memorial honoring former students and graduates of Millsaps who died in service during World War II. A bronze plaque in the foyer of the building, erected in 1950, lists the names of those who, according to the plaque, “made the supreme sacrifice” for our country.

The A. Boyd Campbell College Center was formally opened in 1957. This center for dining and student activities was dubbed the Millsaps Student Union until 1963, when the Board of Trustees chose to pay tribute to A. Boyd Campbell, an outstanding Millsaps alumnus, by re-naming the building as the A. Boyd Campbell Student Center. During renovations and additions, the structure came to be known as the Boyd Campbell College Center.

The Gertrude C. Ford Academic Complex, one of the largest buildings on campus, is a vital part of student life. The complex houses the music, art, and political science departments and features a 450-seat recital hall.

The Windgate Visual Arts Center is the creative heart and soul of the Millsaps College campus, and the place where dreams and ideas take shape and form.
The Visual Arts Center boasts the finest in studio spaces for painting, drawing, ceramics, printing and papermaking, woodworking, sculpting (with a foundry) and digital art. The 17,300 square foot building sits on the west side of campus, adjacent to a new gate on West Street.

The Maurice H. Hall Activities Center, a gym and fitness center available for campus-wide use, was constructed in 2000. At 63,330 square feet, the building contains a fitness center with a basketball PAC interior court, a cardio theater and aerobics room, a full array of fitness and weight training equipment, and three racquetball/handball courts.

In addition to these features, the HAC also offers locker rooms, team rooms and rehab facilities for Millsaps athletes. The HAC is also the headquarters for Millsaps Athletics, housing office space for all athletics staff.
