Ogden College Site Ogden College is located on the site of an earlier educational institution established in 1877 as a provision in the will of Major Robert W. Ogden. In 1928, the original Ogden College closed, and its properties were leased to WKU. The Ogden name reappeared in 1965 when the Ogden College of Science and Technology was established within Western Kentucky University. |
Ogden College Hall (OCH) opened its doors to students in January of 2018. The remarkably innovative building was designed through a partnership with RossTarrant Architects. OCH won the Shaw Design People's Choice Award for beautifully and intelligently integrating a "Science on Display" theme throughout the space.
We Look Forward to Connecting With You
