Jerry Falwell Library Opened in 2014, the $50 million library is the first building on campus to be named after the university’s founder, the late Dr. Jerry Falwell. This innovative four-story facility honors his vision for a Christian university that offers world-class academics.
Arthur S. DeMoss Hall This building served for many years as the campus’ primary academic building. It honors the late Arthur S. DeMoss, a generous benefactor, former Board of Trustees member, and a powerful Christian witness. Liberty received an $11 million bequest in 1985 to build out the first floor and another $9 million from DeMoss’ foundation in 2000 to complete the top three floors.
Marie F. Green Hall Green Hall was named in honor of Marie Green, the mother of Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green. Hobby Lobby gifted the nearly 1 million-square-foot building to Liberty in 2003. Marie Green was known for her kindness and tireless support of international mission work.
LaHaye Ice Center and LaHaye Recreation and Fitness Center Longstanding Liberty supporters Tim and Beverly LaHaye donated the funds to build both facilities. The couple served on Liberty’s Board of Trustees and left a legacy at Liberty through their fervent prayers, friendship, and support. Dr. Tim LaHaye died in 2016. He was an evangelical leader, a nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy, and the co-author of the best-selling “Left Behind” series.
Williams Stadium Arthur and Angela Williams were friends of the late Dr. Jerry Falwell and longtime donors to Liberty. Through the Williamses’ generosity, the stadium opened in October 1989 with a crowd of 12,750 for Homecoming. It received an upgrade in 2010 and is undergoing another major expansion that is set to be completed by the opening of football season this fall (see Page 18). The Williamses also donated money for the 10,000-seat Vines Center, which opened in 1990. That building honors Odie and Minnie Vines, the parents of one of the Williamses’ business partners, Myrna Adams. The Williamses donated a total of $60 million to Liberty over a 15-year period.
