Harding University History Exhibits

Anthony and Wright Administration Building

Built in 1952, the Administration Building remains a dominant part of the campus landscape. It held an auditorium where daily chapel took place, along with classrooms and administrative offices. In 1991, the building received a renovation to refurbish and update the auditorium. In addition to the auditorium, the building currently houses administrative and staff offices. In 2021, it was renamed the Anthony and Wright Administration Building to honor Elijah Anthony and Howard Wright, the first African American students to earn their bachelor’s degrees from Harding.
