History

Adron Doran, who had served as president from 1954 to 1977, played a pivotal role in the expansion of Morehead State from a rural teacher training school into a large-scale state university. In addition to expanding the academic curriculum and introducing racial integration to the campus, Doran also felt the need to make the campus of Morehead State feel more like a home to students. Along with adding more dormitories and on-campus living areas, Doran also sought to create a designated building to serve students in a variety of ways, as a place to study, socialize, and serve basic needs for students. In addition, Doran would make sure that the building bore his namesake. [1]

Adron Doran was born September 1, 1909, in Graves County, Western Kentucky.
