Callaway Center
One of the Atlanta campus’s original buildings, the Callaway Center opened in 1919 as the Physics Building. Today, with the addition of its northern wing, Callaway is one of the largest academic buildings on campus. The Callaway Center is home to several humanities departments, including English, creative writing, religion, Middle Eastern and South Asian studies, and Spanish and Portuguese. It is also home to the Emory Writing Center. No matter what you’re doing there, the Callaway Center is a great place for liberal arts students to strengthen their skills in the humanities.
