The main floor has the offices of the President, Vice President for Academics, Registrar, Admissions, Business and classrooms. Offices for Student Life, Financial Aid, Career and Academic Services, and are located on the second floor. The Travis Memorial Dining Center and kitchen rest on the ground floor. 26—The Library/Academic Center is an H-shaped structure. The uphill side of the “H” houses faculty offices on all three floors. Classrooms are located on the third and fourth floors. The faculty secretary office is found on the 5th floor. On the downhill side of the “H,” the first floor contains the bookstore, student computer lab, media center, and mailroom. The second floor and third floor house the library. A portion of the third floor also contains the Prewitt-Allen Archaeological Museum. The top floor houses the science laboratory. The library has more than 105,000 volumes, including about 80,000 book titles. About 30 percent of the collection is in the field of religion — the core curriculum in Bible and theology. Schools and patrons in the Mid-Willamette Valley increasingly seek assistance from Corban’s resources in this discipline. The library operates under the principle that it is an extension of the classroom. As such, its goal is to provide adequate resources for term papers, reports, class discussion, research and personal growth. Its personnel desire to guide students in methods of library use and appropriation of these resources. Corban participates in the Online Private Academic Library Link (OPALL), which allows students access to nearly one-half million book titles. The Corban library also offers a number of periodical full-text databases (containing over 24,000 unique titles) to the student, staff and faculty on and off campus. Wi-Fi is available throughout the library. The University has planned and is currently raising money for a new 38,000 square-foot facility. 27—The Pavilion, across from the Academic Center, is the principal classroom building for the campus and houses the student center and the Common Grounds coffee and snack shop. 75—The C.E. Jeffers Sports Center is on the high spot of Corban’s campus. It was named in honor of alumnus Clarence E. Jeffers, a sports enthusiast and building contractor, who dedicated his life to aid churches in their building needs. This multipurpose building provides space for intercollegiate sports, intramural sports, and physical education classes. It is also used for special events such as Commencement. The building presently seats 1,500, with space available for bleacher expansion. Its 27,000 square feet includes a basketball court and training center, classroom, weight room, offices and dressing rooms. There are six residence halls on the campus: Aagard Hall (1), Balyo Hall (78), Davidson Hall (80), Farrar Hall (12), Prewitt Hall (65), and VanGilder Hall (65). In addition, the College Park Townhouses (4620-4650) are available for overflow housing, married students, or other students who may petition to live in an apartment off campus. 28—The Psalm Performing Arts Center seats 700. As a signature piece to the campus, it is the home for Chapel and music and theatre performances.
