Designed by Charles Klauder in the 1920s, the Collegiate Gothic architecture at Rhodes College was meant to convey the ennobling and uplifting spirit of a liberal arts education. Eight of the original campus buildings, made from Arkansas sandstone with limestone trim, are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Planning funds will support Rhodes in its efforts to expand the number of buildings on the National Register to include the historic district planned by Klauder, and to study the adaptive reuse of several key campus buildings.

Rhodes College received a Getty grant in 2004 for $150,000 to support campus heritage planning.
