Campus of the University of Arkansas


David W. Mullins Library is located in the center of campus. It is the third largest library in the state of Arkansas next to the Clinton Presidential Library and The Dean B. Ellis Library at Arkansas State University. It contains 4 floors of information in almost every kind of modern medium. This includes several special archives related to Arkansas history. It is also one of the newer buildings on campus. It is named after David Wiley Mullins, who was the president of the university from 1960 to 1974 (its second longest serving president), and helped create the University of Arkansas System, brokering a series of mergers.

The Arkansas Union, (sometimes referred to simply as the union) is at the center of campus and student life. It contains a large computer lab with over 70 computers, coffee shop (RZ's) that also hosts various cultural events, movie theater, auditorium, ball room, food court, text book & regular book store, Razorback paraphernalia shop, bus station, post office, student run radio station, KXUA 88.3FM, and several other small stores and offices. The entire building has wireless internet access and a student technology center that loans laptops out to students, free of charge.

This building serves as the home for the music department and contains faculty studios, music classrooms, rehearsal and practice spaces, and administrative offices. It was constructed in 1976 as an addition to the Fine Arts Building which was designed by Edward Durell Stone in 1950. The existing music building was renamed in 2000 by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees in honor for George and Boyce Billingsley, of Bella Vista Arkansas, for the establishment of the Billingsley Music Fund to support programs within the department.

Ferritor Hall is the current home of 31 research laboratories (30 in biological sciences, 1 in geosciences) and nine environmental rooms supporting the study of biological, chemistry and biochemistry. Construction began in 1997 and the facility opened in August 2000. The official dedication ceremony was held March 2, 2001. The building is dedicated to Daniel E. Ferritor, sociology professor and Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Arkansas.

Bell Engineering Center was built in 1987 when the university outgrew Engineering Hall.
