Bishop Hall is an academic, administrative, and residence building, housing co-ed upperclassmen residents of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Benton Hall, built in 1907~1908 as an administration building, dedicated in 1909, was used as such until the new Administration Building was completed in 1956. It housed the music department, and the auditorium seating 1200 was used for small group meetings as it can accommodate only a fraction of the present enrollment, and total Miami meeting. Currently, Hall Auditorium houses the College of Engineering and Computing office as well as the Computer Science and Software Engineering department.
Wilson Hall, also known as The Pines, was a dormitory building on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Built in 1926 and known before 1986 as "The Pines," The building was originally an annex to a sanatorium known as The Oxford Retreat, and was sold to the university in 1936 for use as a women's dorm. The hall rotated between a men's and women's dorm for most of its existence. The building became disused during the 2015-16 school year, and the university finalized plans in February 2019 to demolish the building that summer to create green space.
Fisher Hall was a building at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Originally the Oxford Female College, the building was later used as a sanitarium and was purchased by Miami in 1925. It served as a first-year men's residence hall, Naval training school, and theatre. The building remained in use as a dormitory until 1958, when the upper floors were condemned and the theatre remained the only part of the building still in use. With the construction of Miami's Center for Performing Arts in 1968, the theatre became unused and the building turned into a storage facility. After a push to save the building in the mid-1970s, the hall was razed because the cost of renovating the building was identical to the costs of new construction. Miami University's hotel, The Marcum, was built in 1982 on the former site of Fisher Hall.

Culler Hall was a classroom building at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Its construction was completed in 1961. With the dedication of Culler Hall on Sunday, January 29, 1961, John B. Whitlock presented Culler Hall as a new building with classrooms and laboratories dedicated to the study of mathematics, physics, and aeronautics. Built from 1959 to 1961, Culler Hall construction warranted the cutting down of around 60 trees. The clearing of these trees led to the creation of the protected Bishop Woods. In October 1957, then President of Miami University, Dr. John D. Millett, contacted architects from Cellarius and Hilmer Architects to estimate the cost of adding air-conditioning into Culler Hall during its creation. This warranted 8 inches more for each floor, creating a necessary amount of about $43,000 more for the project. The center of the U-shaped structure had an impressive glass front entrance showing off the Foucault Pendulum within.
