Brief History: By the 1950's, the administrative division of the University had long outgrown its office space in the Old Administration Building which was constructed at the turn of the century. The new Administration Building was completed in 1959 and continues to serve as the administrative hub of the University. On February 2, 1968, the building was named the Hall-Moody Administration Building in recognition of the institutions predecessor, the Hall-Moody Institute, which was originally founded in 1900. The Hall-Moody Institute was named in honor of two eminent Baptist ministers of the era - J. N. Hall and J. B. Moody. In 1974, the building was modernized and remodeled
