Campus
The campus comprises 48 buildings located on 350 acres (1.4 km2) near the center of Searcy.
The heart of the campus includes the George S. Benson Auditorium, which hosts daily chapel and sits facing the McInteer Bible and World Missions Center. Brackett Library, the American Studies Building (Education and English departments, the American Heritage Center (hotel and offices), Patti Cobb Hall, and the Administration Building frame a grassy central commons area upon which can be found several paths, a fountain, and a bell tower made out of bricks from the institution that once stood there: Galloway Female College. Notable additions in recent years have included several dormitories. Expansions of the cafeteria, student center, art department, American Heritage Center, along with the addition of the Bible Center, came with the closing of the road that once ran through that part of campus. It is now a pedestrian mall.
After years of playing in the Ganus Athletic Center, Harding's volleyball and basketball teams moved back to the Rhodes Memorial Field House, a round-topped airplane hangar from WWII. The "old gym" as it was once called was retrofitted to accentuate the already deafening acoustics of the facility, which has worked to the advantage of the home teams. The campus also has extensive intramural sports facilities.
The campus lies roughly between Race Avenue and Beebe-Capps Expressway and includes several other minor thoroughfares, the campus of Harding Academy, Harding Place (a retirement community), and portions of surrounding neighborhoods.
