Lynchburg College was founded in 1903 as Virginia Christian College by Dr. Josephus Hopwood, a minister and former president of Milligan College in Tennessee. When the campus outgrew its original building, Westover Hall, the College began a campaign to raise funds for new facilities. Industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie offered a large grant in 1908, allowing the College to construct two new buildings: Carnegie Hall and Hopwood Hall.

Architect Edward Frye designed Hopwood Hall as a red brick version of his beauz-arts styled Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, which had been completed in 1908. Both buildings include six Ionic columns, a broad central stairway, and an overarching dome. With its sweeping wings, Hopwood Hall dominates one end of the College’s main quandrangle.

Lynchburg College, the second oldest coeducational college in Virginia, was founded through an agreement with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The College maintains strong commitments to the liberal arts and sciences and to its relationship with the church, while also emphasizing professional and career preparation. Both undergraduate and graduate studies are offered on the 214-acre campus to nearly 2,000 students from across the United States and around the world.
