The Baptist Student Center (or Union or Ministry) is located along Avenue J in the north-central part of campus.
The 1962 Alcalde notes the building was built in 1955 at a cost of $50,000. It is "constructed of native stone and brick with large areas of glass" making it "an attractive modern building. Inside [are] a carpeted lounge, spacious recreation room, classroom, prayer room, and offices.... [1]" |

 |
Fifteen years (or so) before the Baptist and Kats for Christ Student Centers were constructed, the northern stretch of Avenue J was still lined with houses. |
 |
Signage out front the building has identified the building for over fifty years. |
 |
The rear entrance of the Baptist Student Center and the small strip of asphalt dedicated to the Baptists. |
 |
While the bumpy, disjointed parking lot north of Smith-Kirkley has mostly been taken over by the parking garage, there are still a few spots of surface parking available...for the Baptists. |
 |
Letters stored out front the BSM building can be transported to the mall area, stadium, or elsewhere for self-promotion. |
