Batten Arts and Letters Building

The College of Arts and Letters, the core intellectual and cultural center for ODU and the communities it serves, calls this building home.

Its programs promote and extend knowledge of the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

The building is the tallest building on campus at 9 stories, but classes are on the first 3 floors. The rest of the floors are dedicated to office hours for the professors under the College of Arts and Letters.

The Language Learning Center is located on the third floor that has virtual and in-person study tools, resources, service learning, and tutoring in many languages.

The first floor also houses an advising team that assists freshman and transfer students with the initial transition into college. Students are then transitioned to their respective faculty advisors once ready to declare their major. Click here to listen now.
