Historic Shawnee Hall, the first permanent building on campus, opened in 1915 and has served every student who has graduated from OBU. The damage it suffered amid the tornado of April 19 was significant.
University leadership already had plans for a major renovation, and this has created an opportunity to strip away years of partial renovations leaving nothing but beams and unfinished floors and walls.
Through Shawnee Hall, OBU provides general education courses for all students and intends to address significant needs through the Henry F. McCabe Family School of Education and the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences.
Help us advance into the future as we rebuild this historic building.
