Pelfrey Hall is the largest and most recognizable building on campus. It is named for Professor Emeritus Lloyd Pelfrey, one of our founding faculty members and school president for 26 years. Pelfrey Hall contains all of our classrooms, most of our offices, the gymnasium, and the dining hall.
Ferneau Center
The Ferneau Center serves as our gym and auditorium. Named after a former board member from Columbia, Missouri, it is a versatile space that hosts Chapel services every Tuesday morning, men's and women's basketball games, and special banquets throughout the school year. The center also features an impressive display of international flags, representing the diverse countries our students come from to attend Central.
Dining Hall
CCCB offers dining services for students and staff, providing sixteen meals from Monday through Saturday. Once a month, premium nights feature special entrees like steak and shrimp. The dining experience includes bonus bites, occasional cooking demonstrations, a full salad bar, dessert bar, themed meals, carved-to-order meats, and a side bar. Enjoy meals with friends or get to know staff and campus visitors who also dine with us.
