"A Fictional Place" part 3

Okay, here's some more background history for Kye Valley.  :)


Kye Valley Christian College - KVCC

Kye Valley Christian College had its beginning as Kye Valley Bible School.  It was a small school started in the 1950s by a Bible study group in the town of Kye Valley.  Later someone donated land for the school a few miles east of town.  Two small dorms and a campus building were built there.  Vokarian Hall was for men, and Claxton Hall was for women.

In the 1960s the school became a full-fledged college.  The name was changed to Kye Valley Christian College.  Families around the Pacific Northwest started sending their sons and daughters to KVCC.

In the 1970s two more dorms were added.  Rondelle Hall was for men while Myers Hall was for women.  The chapel was also built about this time.  More campus buildings have been built over the years.  The school library was also built during the 1970s.

In the 1990s the last two dorms were built.  McConnel Hall is for men while Stinson Hall is for women.  These two newest dorms happen to have air conditioning.

The two oldest dorms, Vokarian and Claxton Halls, are both near the chapel and the chapel garden.  There is an oak grove behind the chapel.

 The campus mainly sits on a small hill.  There is a big paved parking lot.  The campus buildings are all west of the parking lot.  The chapel and two oldest dorms are west of the campus buildings.  The library is partway down the hill from the campus buildings.  At the bottom of the hill are the apartments for the grad students.  On the east side of the big parking lot are the four newer dorms.  Rondelle, Myers, McConnell and Stinson Halls all sit in a row on top of a rise of land.  These four dorms are affectionately known as the quad dorms.

  1. Sounds a bit like Corban University. If you haven't seen their campus you should go tour it. It could give you some more scenic ideas!

  2. I have not been to Corban's campus, yet. But I have been on the school's website and looked at pictures of the dorms. I basically sort of have the Oral Roberts University campus in mind - but with variations. Thanks. :)
