Centre's 152-acre (62 ha) campus includes 67 buildings on 152 acres, 14 of which are included on the National Register of Historic Places. Old Centre Completed in 1820, Old Centre is the College's first building, the oldest continuously operated academic building west of the Alleghenies, and the template for the Greek Revival style of the campus. Today it houses the offices of the president, vice president for academic affairs, and vice president for college relations, in addition to several classrooms and the College's Admissions Welcome Centre. At various times it has served as a library, dormitory, law school, faculty residence, and, during the Civil War, a hospital for both Confederate and Union soldiers. Old Centre is a Kentucky Landmark, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and included in the Smithsonian Guide to Historic Places.[21] Old Carnegie Built in 1913 with a $30,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, Old Carnegie was the College library until 1966 and currently houses the Career Services Office and the Center for Global Citizenship, as well as a special-occasion dining room.

In September 2009, Centre garnered national attention by hosting the Vienna Philharmonic.[23] In October 2012, the Norton Center hosted the Vice Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan.[9] Centre students can attend most of the Norton Center events at no extra cost.[24] The Norton Center for the Arts was built in 1973 and originally named the Regional Arts Center (RAC). It was later renamed for Jane Morton Norton, a former trustee of Centre College. The 85,000 square feet (7,900 m2) complex was designed by architect William Wesley Peters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The complex was refurbished in 2009.[25] The College Centre[edit] The College Centre is composed of two buildings, Crounse Hall and Sutcliffe Hall, both of which received multi-million dollar expansions and renovations completed in the spring of 2005. Crounse Hall houses an enlarged library, theater, and additional classrooms, while Sutcliffe Hall houses over 62,000 square feet (5,800 m2) of athletic space, including several new gymnasiums and workout facilities.[26] The Old Bookstore (Stuart Hall)[edit] The Old Bookstore was the first chapter house of any fraternity in Kentucky, housing the brothers of the Epsilon Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. Before Centre obtained the property, the structure functioned as a funeral home and as a shoe store. The College later converted it to the Campus Bookstore, and in 2005 the bookstore moved to its current downtown Danville location, leaving the building empty. In 2008, Centre rededicated the building as Stuart Hall, an upperclassmen residential facility, naming it in honor of John T. Stuart, class of 1826.[27] Craik House[edit] Built in 1853 and renovated in 1958, Craik House is the president's home. Originally a private residence, Henry Craik bought the home in 1937 with a bequest in honor of his Centre Class of 1890. Robert L. McLeod, the 14th president of Centre, was the first president of the College to occupy the residence. The Craik House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[28] Breckinridge Hall[edit] Breckenridge Hall is a three-story residence hall that was originally built in 1892 as a dormitory for students of the Danville Theological Seminary. When the seminary consolidated with the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary in 1901, Centre took over Breckinridge as a residence hall for students.[29] Pearl Hall[edit] Pearl Hall is the first LEED GOLD residential hall in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.[30] Pearl Hall was built with a gift from Centre trustee Robert Brockman '63. The residence hall is named in memory of Brockman's mother and grandmother, both of whom were named Pearl. Construction of the three-floor facility located on Main Street began in May 2007 after commencement and was finished in time for students to move into in August 2008. Dedication of the building took place during homecoming in October 2008. It houses 146 students. Campus Center The Campus Centre, a LEED Silver Certified multi-purpose facility, houses the Cowan Dining Commons, the Everyday Cafe, the Student Life Office, several meeting rooms, and a gaming area. The two-story, 50,000 square foot, $15 million facility replaced the original Cowan Dining Commons in Fall 2009.

Centre competes in the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) and fields 21 teams, known as the Colonels.[70] The College is a former member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1910–1941) and Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (1962–2012). Spanning six states, the SAA also includes Berry College, Birmingham-Southern College, Hendrix College, Millsaps College, Oglethorpe University, Rhodes College and Sewanee: The University of the South.[71] Centre fields intercollegiate men's teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, and track and field. Intercollegiate women's teams include basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. 40 percent of the student body participates in intercollegiate athletics. Centre offers fifteen intramural sports, in which 80 percent of the student body participates.[72] Football[edit] Main article: Centre Colonels football Competing since 1880, the Centre Colonels football team, also historically known as the "Praying Colonels", ranked as the 12th winningest program in NCAA Division III history with a 509–374–37 all-time record as of 2008.[73] On January 1, 1921, the Colonels defeated Texas Christian University 63-7 in the Fort Worth Classic, a postseason college football bowl game in Fort Worth, Texas played only once. On January 2, 1922, Centre College made the postseason trip to Texas again, this time taking on Texas A&M in the Dixie Classic, the forerunner of the Cotton Bowl. Even though the Colonels were outscored 22-14, they played their part in the birth of one of college football's greatest traditions, the 12th Man. At the beginning of the Roaring '20s, Harvard University, the nation's dominant football power, was riding a two-year undefeated streak whose last loss was to Brown in 1918. Then the Crimson invited Centre (enrollment at that time: 264) to Cambridge for what they thought would be a "warm-up" game, a light workout before facing Princeton the following week. In the 1921 Centre vs. Harvard football game, the Colonels (under coach Charley Moran) shocked Harvard University and became the first school from outside the East to ever beat one of the Ivy League's "Big Three" of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Star player Bo McMillin rushed for the lone touchdown of the game early in the third quarter, and the Praying Colonels' defense held off the Crimson's powerful offense from there for a 6-0 victory. 29 years later, in 1950, the Associated Press chose the Centre win as the greatest sports upset of the first half of the 20th century. On four consecutive Saturdays in 1924, the Colonels defeated Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia
