Office Buildings:

Van & Jean Gates Welcome Center (Admission Office)

The Admission Office is the first point of contact for many prospective students. It houses offices for admission counselors and support staff. The building is one of only a few structures left from when the campus was originally purchased in 1947.

Campus Safety Building

The Division of Campus Safety is a service-oriented agency dedicated to providing qualified, trained officers to ensure Bethel University will benefit from an “at home” atmosphere 24 hours a day.

Dining Commons

Built in 1978 and renovated in 2011, Bethel’s Dining Commons includes a large student dining hall and president’s dining and conference area. In addition, a serving area features salad, lunch, dinner and beverage bars as well as a "grab-and-go" counter. Students gather in the Dining Commons for meals and special events such as the Midnight Breakfast and the Senior Banquet. The lower level of the complex contains two classrooms (CC 101 & CC 102).

Huffman Administration Building

The Administration Building, completed in 1952, was the first building constructed on campus. It was later renamed the Huffman Administration Building in honor of Jasper Huffman, who was an early advocate of founding a church- based university. When the university opened in 1947, Huffman became the first Dean of the School of the Bible. In the early years the building housed the dining hall, library, and classrooms, now it contains administrative and faculty offices.

Shiloh Prayer Chapel

Located near Founders’ Village and Oakwood Hall, the Shiloh Prayer Chapel serves as a focal point between the residence halls – reminding students to build their university lives around prayer and worship. Dedicated in 1996, the quaint structure is used throughout the academic year for small prayer gatherings.

Summers Maintenance Building

The Summers Maintenance Building, built in 1964, was dedicated in 1993 in honor of George Summers, a former Physical Plant Director. The recently expanded structure houses the Grounds, Transportation and Maintenance Departments.

Sufficient Grounds and Campus Store

Sufficient Grounds provides space for students, faculty and staff to dine, study and fellowship. Renovated and expanded in 2013, it also offers conference and meeting space for the public, as well as a stage for events like open mic nights and live performances. The Campus Store is a one-stop-shop for textbooks and Bethel gear; it also houses the Mailroom and Events and Conference Services Offices.

Taylor Memorial Chapel

This historic log church, built over a century ago near Union, Michigan, is situated in the far southwest corner of the Bethel campus. Dedicated in honor of Reverend Albert Taylor and his son, Reverend Stanley Taylor, Ed. D., the rustic structure, now lovingly restored, provides a place of meditation and worship for Bethel students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors. The Taylor Memorial Chapel also serves as a beautiful location for small weddings.

Wellness Center

The Wellness Center offers a variety of counseling services to students to assist them in developing their fullest physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual potential while attending Bethel University. Professional counselors are available for personal, placement and mental health counseling. There is no fee for full-time students.
