Campus Growth – Administration Building

Evangel University is celebrating the completion of the Ralph M. Riggs Administration Building.

Administrative personnel began moving into the building on March 3, and the transition from temporary offices will continue into the first week of April.

“The new administration building anchors our campus quadrangle and has become a welcoming face for Evangel’s campus,” said Paul K. Logsdon, public relations director for the university. “It contains the offices for the president, five vice presidents and their administrative support staff.” Read more.

The building is named in honor of Rev. Ralph M. Riggs, general superintendent of the Assemblies of God 1953-59, who spearheaded the movement to establish Evangel University.

Dr. George O. Wood, current general superintendent of the Assemblies of God and 1962 alumnus, said that Riggs had the foresight and saw a need to have a college of arts and sciences. “Ralph Riggs should be a hero to all of us,” Dr. Wood said.

The new building replaces the O’Reilly Hospital barracks. Sapp Design Associates Architects provided the architectural plans, and Walton Construction built the structure.
