Building History

Boyd Hall, originally Northwest Hall, opened in 1951 and was renamed in 1961 to honor Mamie Alexander Boyd of Mankato.

A 1902 K-State graduate, Boyd was a distinguished educator in the College of Agriculture and the first woman to serve as president of the K-State Alumni Association. The renaming of the residence hall recognized her significant contributions to the university, agricultural education and alumni leadership.
