The Benjamin D. James Center was built on the northwest corner of West Louther and North College streets on land acquired by the college from the Church of the Brethren in 1985. The building was dedicated on Oct. 17, 1987, and provided classrooms, offices and laboratories for the departments of Geology, Psychology and Environmental Studies.
The building was named in honor of Benjamin D. James '34, professor, coach, dean of admissions, dean of students and professor emeritus of psychology and education. The James Center was designed by Spillman Farmer Architects and constructed at a cost of $2.8 million.
