A Little History...

The four halls that make up South Complex, Carey, Bonbright, Nisbet and Brazell, were built in 1970. Carey and Bonbright share one entrance and Nisbet and Brazell share the other.

We’re wired for online computer access and are coed by suite (two rooms connected by one bathroom).

All the halls are named for former members of the Board of Trustees - Walter F. Carey, Carl W. Bonbright, Stephen S. Nisbet (also an Alma alumnus) and Reid Brazell.

 

Alma College trustees have adopted a master plan that provides a direction and set of priorities for the development of the physical campus. Key components include an emphasis on advanced and interactive learning, prioritized building renovations, housing initiatives that accommodate enrollment growth, a reconfiguration of parking lots and green spaces, and campus growth plans linked to the Alma downtown business environment.
