The historic and well-traversed Lincoln Hall serves as the college's headquarters—an average of 5,000 students passed through the building every weekday in Fall 2019.

The entire exterior of the building was restored, including 30 terracotta panels depicting quotes and portraits from Abraham Lincoln's life.

In the entrance foyer, the barrel vault ceiling, Gettysburg Address tablet, marble floors, and pillars were restored.
