The Duke K. McCall Sesquicentennial Pavilion opened in 2009, coinciding with Southern Seminary’s 150th anniversary. Named in recognition of the contributions of Duke Kimbrough McCall, the institution’s seventh president, the pavilion serves as a spacious welcome center to the campus and has hosted several receptions. Dr. McCall, together with wife Winona, attended the structure’s dedication ceremony as an honored guest and spoke positively of the seminary’s longevity as a testament to God’s grace and wise leadership, further imploring all Southern alumni and friends to rally around the seminary.
