In the past Raymond Hall has been used for many purposes. When this
two-story building was built in the summer of 1940 it contained four apartments
and was intended to be used for faculty apartments. But its
original use was as a practice house for home economics classes. In 1956
this facility was converted into a small men's dormitory as
Belhaven, for the first time, became a coeducational campus. Today Raymond
Hall is used by the adult ASPIRE program. The recruiting and accounting offices are
located on the first floor and student services and an Aspire financial aid
staff member are located on the second floor in order to offer convenient access
for adult students.
This building was named in honor of Dr. T. W. Raymond, president of Mississippi Synodical College from 1891 to 1921.
