Other Huntington Locations

University Heights

An area on the outskirts of town was used as the West Virginia Colored Children's Home (by that time it was actually being used as a sanitarium for elderly black men) and the surrounding farm land (in that era state institutions grew much of their own food) was transferred to the university at the end of segregation as "University Heights", with the intention of developing a second campus. The building was converted into housing for married students, along with a few new apartment buildings, but the property was never developed fully, being used for storage, a baseball field (which was not adequate for the team's needs and eventually abandoned), and much of the property was transferred to other state agencies over the years. In 2011 the buildings were demolished and the remaining property was transferred to the Cabell County Board of Education for a new middle school.
