Feeling creative? One of Cottey's newest buildings features some of our most interesting options on campus: a 490-seat auditorium, the P.E.O. Foundation Art Gallery, the Missouri Recital Hall with seating for 150, and a large scene shop and costume shop. Stretch your mind and attend some events!
Street View
Main Hall
Most of the buildings at Cottey are filled with an impressive history, but none more so than Main Hall. What started as a brick schoolhouse in 1884 is now home to administrative offices, music studios, practice rooms, a MIDI lab, faculty offices, and what will surely become one of your favorite places: the bookstore. The building underwent an extensive renovation in 1981 and again in 2004.
Street View
Neale Hall
A place to visit to see the artistic creations of your fellow students. In addition to having an art gallery that displays student works throughout the school year, the Hall houses art classroom laboratories, and faculty offices. It was built as a gymnasium in 1922 and housed a swimming pool in the basement. It was originally a two story building, but the top floor was removed after being damaged by fire in 1937. Neale Hall was renovated again as the art center in 1972. Plans are currently underway to build a new Fine Arts Instructional Building which will be connected to Main Hall and incorporate the existing Neale Hall building.

This residence hall, built in 1939, was the first building erected after Cottey was accepted as a gift by the P.E.O. Sisterhood. It has 10 suites and houses approximately 105 students.
Street View
Robertson Hall
Cottey's largest residence hall has 14 suites which house approximately 150 students. In the lower level of Robertson Hall is Raney Dining Room, the dining hall for all residential students. Built in 1959, the residence hall is named after Elizabeth Robertson and the dining room is named after Bessie Raney.
Street View
Chapel
Definitely the most significant location on campus to many Cottey students, the Chapel was built in 1956 as a gift from the B.I.L.s. The main chapel seats 480 and there is also a small side chapel and parlor. The Chapel houses the Dysart Memorial Organ, a 21-rank Hammer-Reuter Organ and the Nell Farrel Stevenson Grand Piano.

Reeves Hall
Cottey doubled its residential student population when Reeves Hall was built in 1949. This hall also has 10 suites with approximately 105 students and was named after Winona Evans Reeves.

Hinkhouse Center
Cottey's hub of activity... literally. Here you'll find our gymnasium, dance studios, fitness room, and swimming pool. Sounds invigorating already. But you can do more here than just run around. The lower level includes a classroom, dressing rooms, student lounge, TV room and the Chellie Club snack bar to help get your energy up before a workout. On the second floor is the Student Life and Development Center, which contains the offices of counseling, health, housing and campus activities. The building was named for Uretta and Paul Hinkhouse and constructed in 1971.

Blanche Skiff Ross Memorial Library
The Ross Library is a student-centered hub for information and collaboration, open daily for over 85 hours per week. The flag-draped Information Commons provides a dynamic learning environment for student interaction, staff assisting with questions or problems, library research sessions, and both group and individual study areas. Abundant natural light, computers, wireless access for personal devices, traditional quiet study carrels, comfortable seating areas, and group meeting rooms appeal to diverse student learning styles. Construction of the Ross library started in 1962 and it opened on March 16, 1963.

All of the chemistry labs, instrumentation rooms and chemical storage areas are located here. Don't worry, the chemicals are never taken outside of those instructional spaces! Grantham Hall also features a smaller science computer laboratory for computer interfaced experimentation.

Helen and George Washburn Center for Women's Leadership
There's a leader in everyone, and for many of our students, much of that discovery begins here. Guest lecturers and outreach programs are just a few of the valuable opportunities you'll find. And for those of you interested in some history, the "house" was originally built in 1927 as a private residence for the W.F. Norman family. (The W.F. Norman Corporation is a world leader in the production of decorative tin ceilings and still operates in Nevada.) The house was purchased in 1997 by Cottey College. Under the leadership of Dr. Helen Washburn, President of Cottey College 1986-2004, the Center for Women's Leadership officially opened in October 2000.

Physical Plant
The Physical Plant houses the offices of Maintenance, Housekeeping, Security, Grounds, Safety, and Shipping.
President's House
The President's house was built in 1903 by French Humbolt Glenn who later became president of First National Bank in Nevada. Cottey began renting the house in 1940 for use as a student dorm. The college purchased the house in 1941 for $10,500. Six Cottey presidents have resided there: Dr Blanche H. Dow, Dr. Ted McCarrel, Dr. Jon Olaf Hondrum, Dr. Evelyn L. Milan, Dr. Helen Washburn and Dr. Judy Rogers.

B.I.L. Lodge
Feeling burnt out from too much studying? Welcome to your escape! Just 8 blocks south of the Cottey campus, the 33-acre spacious wooded area and cozy lodge provide the ultimate break for you and your friends. The grounds include a large open reception area, fireplace, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. During the day, take advantage of the sun and get your outdoor volleyball on, or stay inside the lodge and play board games, pool, or watch a movie. At night, make a dinner, enjoy a fire, eat some s'mores, and share some ghost stories. Just a few ideas to get you motivated! And once a year, you and your suitemates are able to enjoy an overnight getaway here. Whether you're looking for recreation, or just to relax and unwind, you can do it here!
