Building History
Bluemont Hall was completed in 1981 and is named after Bluemont College, the institution that eventually became Kansas State University. The building contains classrooms, research laboratories, and office spaces that support multiple colleges across the university.
Located in front of Bluemont Hall is the historic Bluemont Bell, which was donated to Bluemont College in 1861 by Joseph Ingalls. The bell was purchased to call students to class at Bluemont College, which was originally located about one mile west of the present K-State campus. Ingalls paid the $175 cost of the bell and its shipment in exchange for having his name engraved on it. Today, the Bluemont Bell stands as an enduring symbol of K-State's history and heritage.
