History meets modern learning in this revived landmark.

Columbia College recently breathed new life into the 1960s College Place United Methodist Church, transforming it into a vibrant home for the College’s Division of Education and other community spaces.

With the expertise of local architecture firm Garvin Design Group, general contractor Hood Construction, and owner’s representative LCK, this reinvigorated, long-beloved building now offers Koalas fresh spaces to gather, learn, and live.
