Evangel Administration
The new Evangel University Administration Building, named after the Rev. Ralph M. Riggs, stands as a beacon of modernity and functionality on campus, replacing the last remnants of the historic O’Reilly Hospital WWII-era barracks. Anchoring the campus quadrangle, this building serves as the welcoming face of the University, seamlessly blending architectural styles to honor heritage while embracing innovation. With three floors encompassing a total area of 63,000 square feet and a construction budget of $10.9 Million, the facility is a testament to Evangel’s commitment to excellence.
Within its walls, the complex houses various essential departments, including enrollment, student development, security, post office services, business and finance, computer services, institutional advancement, and the offices of the University President. This thoughtful design ensures streamlined operations and a conducive environment for administrative work, events, and student services. Moreover, the building incorporates eco-friendly features and advanced technology systems, aligning with contemporary design principles while upholding the university’s values and aspirations. The Ralph M. Riggs Administration Building not only symbolizes the University’s progress and growth but also embodies its dedication to providing a holistic and enriching experience for its community.
