Built in 1962 with loans from the Housing and Home Finance Administration during President Frank E. Duddy's presidency (1956 to 1963), Carleson is named in honor of the Harry E. and Fred A. Carleson families who provided furnishings for the hall. Renovated in the mid-1990's, Carleson Hall is one of two freshmen residence halls on campus (the other is Hogle Hall). Students live in traditional-style rooms with one roommate and shared bathroom facilities.

The Jewett Center for the Performing Arts was initially funded by Berenice Jewett Bradshaw and dedicated April 13, 1991 under the presidency of Dr. Charles Dick (1985 to 1995). The Jay W. Lees Courage Theater replaced the small theater on the 3rd floor of Converse Hall which was dedicated in 1983 to beloved theater Professor Jay Lees. The Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory (north addition) opened Fall of 2004 under the presidency of Dr. Michael Bassis.
The Conservatory triples the volume of performance space available on the Westminster Campus. The heart of the facility is the 285-seat Vieve Gore Concert Hall which serves as an intimate environment for musical performances. In addition, the Dumke Student Theatre is a 150-seat, black-box theatre with stage and seating that can be arranged in any configuration. The Conservatory also contains a rehearsal and recording studio, a technology lab, and multiple practice rooms.
Together, the Jewett Center for the Performing Arts and Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory house all campus music and theater classes. The Jewett Center's Courage Theater has been the home of many memorable performances by the Westminster Chamber Singers, Chamber Orchestra, and our critically acclaimed theatre department. Professional lunches and other campus functions are periodically held in the lobby where you can often see student art exhibits.

Opened in early 1969, the Manford A. Shaw Center is named after the college president who served from 1968 to 1976. President Shaw was a Westminster graduate and earned degrees from Yale and the University of Utah. He was also a college trustee. His term saw a much needed Union Building and Malouf Hall added to campus.
And over the years, Shaw has seen many changes. Originally it included the campus post office and a small health center; on January 6, 1969 a dining room and snack bar were moved from Walker Hall. The lower level once housed a gathering place known as "The Ghetto" and The Bookstore was dedicated in 1982.
Since its renovation in 2001, the Shaw Student Center is still the hub of activity on campus. Located across Tanner Plaza from Converse, Shaw is where you can check-out the day's menu, buy your texts at the bookstore, or discuss plans for after graduation at the Career Resource Center.

The Kim T. Adamson Alumni House was completed in 2008 to give the growing alumni community a place to call their own. Built on the site of the McNiece House (named for Rev. Robert G. McNiece, a president of the Board of Trustees of the Collegiate Institute and Presbyterian minister who came to Utah in 1877), the Alumni House includes the Alumni and Parent Relations offices, as well as gathering spaces, meeting rooms and an outdoor patio.

Dedicated September 12, 1974 during President Manford Shaw's term (1968 to 1976), Malouf Hall is named for long time friends of the college, Mrs. Mima A. and Mr. Anees B. Malouf. Together, Malouf Hall and the Dick Science Building house the majority of the science, physics and chemistry classes. Most of our science faculty can be found here in their offices or in the class laboratories. The lower level of Malouf Hall houses the School of Education.
