HUMBLE BEGINNING: A college is more than buildings, that’s true. But the buildings are the learning tools for the academic community. The first year all of the classrooms, dorms, offices, cafeteria, auditorium, labs, post office ... all of them were located in surplus army barracks. With the beginning of the second year, the administration-library-classroom building opened its doors. Since then, Lubbock Christian College has grown to include 19 per- manent buildings on a 120-acre campus, valued at a replacement cost of $16 million. “The dividends which | have received asa recut ot three children Dae tremendous.

SURPLUS ARMY BARRACKS During the Silver Anniversary Year, the College is conducting a campaign to meet a challenge grant from the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation so that anew women’s dor- mitory can be built. The attractive campus, unified architecturally around a central mall, is home to Lub- bock Christian College. 1 — The first spade of dirt for LCC’s first permanent building was turned by Dr. F. W. Mattox and his granddaughter, Sara Jo Bryant, May 4, 1957. 2 — The Arnett House served as the first administration building, dormitory, print shop, photo lab, and faculty offices. It has been moved, totally restored, by the LCC Associates and serves as their headquarters. 3 — The first building on the Mall south of the Ad- ministration Building was the Betty Hancock Campus Center, opened in 1965. The parlor and second-level offices were added later. 4 — The LCC Institute of Water Research has some of the most sophisticated lab equipment in the Southwest. 5 — The Mabee Student Life Building houses the snack bar, bookstore, nurse’s office, housing and traffic of- fices, Student Senate Office, bowling alley and game rooms. 6 — This barracks served as biology lab until the Mabee Agriculture-Science Laboratory building was built.
