John Brown University - Campus

Campus

John Brown University's main campus is located on 200 acres (0.81 km2) in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. The university's most recognizable building, the Cathedral of the Ozarks, was completed in 1957 and, along with the Engineering Building and the Art Building composes the Cathedral group. The Cathedral contains a sanctuary for chapel and other assemblies, and the back portion is a three-floor academic building housing the music department and the humanities and social sciences. The entire Cathedral group was recently renovated on the inside and resurfaced with white limestone on the exterior.

Between the Cathedral group and Walker Student Center is the campus' main quad, which is used for recreation and relaxation by students. The student center itself houses a cafe, an open area for studying, the post office, and classrooms on the second floor. Attached to the student center is the Walker co-ed residence hall. There are three other residence halls on campus as well: J. Alvin Brown, an all-male dormitory and the oldest building on campus; Mayfield, an all-female hall, and North, a co-ed dormitory and the newest residence hall. Also, upperclassmen can live in the on-campus Townhouses or the Broadhurst Duplexes.

Other buildings on campus are the Soderquist Business Center, Bell Science Hall, the Mabee Learning Resource Center, the Chapman Administrative Building, the Admissions Building, and the Walton Lifetime Health Complex.
