At Baylor, we take immense pride in our strong foundation and the vibrant school community that has flourished throughout our distinguished history. As we look to the future, we are excited to build upon this legacy with a series of exciting new projects, that include:
BUILDING
NEW DORM + RIKE FIELD
RIKE FIELD DORM ENTRANCE
BUILDING 1
CREATING A NEW CENTER FOR RESIDENTIAL LIFE, STUDENT SERVICES, AND COMMUNITY
The beautiful new building honors the architectural heritage of our historic campus and houses two dorms that will provide students with comfortable and modern living spaces. The new Wellness Center is a testament to our commitment to creating an environment where all students feel supported and can comfortably receive medical and mental health care when needed. In addition, the Admission Suite and event space will help us welcome and make a positive impression on visitors and prospective families.

A WELCOMING GATEWAY WITH NEW LANDSCAPING AND PARKING
Rike Field has long been a hub of community activities — hosting tailgates, reunions, student gatherings, and more. The transformation of Rike will include new trees and landscaping, as well as additional parking, to create a beautiful and welcoming gateway to campus, while preserving and enhancing the field space for events.
RENOVATING
Hunter Hall, Founders Hall, and Lupton Hall to increase dorm capacity while modernizing office spaces.
RENOVATING 3
A COMMITMENT TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS: RENOVATING AND PRESERVING HUNTER HALL, FOUNDERS HALL, AND LUPTON HALL
Due to the age of our historic buildings and the school’s growth over the years, it has become essential to update the offices and living spaces within Founder's Hall, Lupton Hall, and Hunter Hall. By thoughtfully modernizing and reconfiguring the interiors of these structures, we will preserve these historic buildings original to Baylor's campus, while increasing our capacity for additional beds and optimizing space needed for offices.
